Winchester’s kids on the MEND

Winchester City Council’s River Park Leisure Centre is now recruiting families for its free Summer programme, MEND.

MEND, which stands for Mind, Exercise, Nutrition…Do it, is designed for children to become more healthy for the long term.

The programme consists of 18 sessions in 10 weeks including nutrition meetings and fun swimming sessions.

There are no costs in attending the programme but your child will need to be assesed for age, weight and health  to see if they qualify for help.

Alfie online reveiws

I write online for the Alfie online news site along with Christian and Matt for the music section. I was criticised by Chris for making my reveiws a little too positive and i was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on making them more negative. Preferably without making it to insulting for the artist/s!!

cheers

Hampshire County Council has joined forces with Defra and the Hampshire farming community to contain the infectious Bluetongue Virus.The disease which broke out in a farm in Upton, Dorset, is carried and transferred by midges. It affects mainly sheep but also infects cattle, goats and deer, the main wildlife of England. Experts say that the disease cannot be passed naturally from one animal to the next. It travels through via midges or unhygienic farming practices.The Council have boundaries in place to avoid any further outbreak into the Hampshire area. Large woodland areas like the New Forest would be heavily hit if farmers do not obey the rules of moving animals. If animals are suspected to have the disease then they are urged to contact animal health to move their animals out of the Protection Zone and into the Surveillance Zone.The bluetongue disease was discovered in 2006 in Northern Europe and Britain. It was recently discovered in Dorset where the County Council have taken steps to minimise the spread. All of Dorset and the New Forest are in a Protection Zone and the rest of Hampshire by a Surveillance Zone. The effects it can have on farmyard animals are not all bad. Unlike the Foot and Mouth disease mortality rates are low but sheep can be more susceptible to the effects. No vaccine has been formulated to prevent the symptoms of the disease but experts say that it cannot be passed through animal products to humans.
