Kids Football Club

Sunday, June 27th, 2010 by jessadams

I was reading a post (here) about organising a 5-a-side football team, well what about a kids football team?

My son is 5 & he loves football. I have considered Quedgeley Wanderers but the hike to Waterwells every Saturday morning with 3 children doesn’t appeal, especially since Kingsway School has a football pitch that could perhaps be put to good use!

My husband is the secretary of a Football Club & I’m sure he would be more than happy to help somehow.

Everyone is quick to moan about the kids in Kingsway messing around etc… so maybe something like this would be ideal!

Quedgeley Parish Council – Councillor Election

Monday, June 14th, 2010 by Barry Kirby

Hi All,

I received an email yesterday saying that there are a couple of places open for election on the Quedgeley Parish Council.

Nomination submissions have to be in by the 18th June.

This is an excellent opportunity for more Kingsway people to have a greater say in how our Parish Council is run.

It’s a very quick turn-around, but don’t let that put you off, it can be done :)

Thatcham Parking Opposite Marham Drive!

Monday, June 14th, 2010 by potatoPete

I live in Marham Drive and I am sick to death of the inconsiderate people living in Thatcham Ave and opposite Marham Drive who continually park in the entrance.

I know where they live and the cars they drive, they all have adequate off road parking space but constantly park in and opposite Marham. I can imagine that this will only get worse when and if yellow lines are added.

As I type this one of their cars is parked in the entrance tonight. It is extremely dangerous and my wife witnessed a near miss with another “Marham parker” earlier. This person came extremely fast around the corner, avoiding the other Thatcham car and almost having a head on collision with a car exiting. This person looking sheepish then drove off and parked near to their house! It is nightmare trying to exit in the morning with these parked cars.

I fully appreciate that there are road works going on at the minute. But these people have ample of road parking and are too lazy to use it or park a bit further down Thatcham Ave.

I respect those living in Thatcham who are parking considerately, but despise the others who do not and live in the vicinity of Marham Drive. These few bottom feeders are giving the other good people of Thatcham a bad name. So if you are one of those and are reading this: MOVE YOUR CAR TO WHERE YOU LIVE!

I could not care less if you think I have no community spirit – I am sick of these people who continually park here, particularly when they do not live in Marham Drive and are causing a danger to others.

Respect Kingsway Park

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010 by @thatcham

Having recently attended the big park this morning, I was absolutely ashamed when I got there with my little child; the park was strewn with litter and the amount of graffiti evident within the skate park is not only offensive but is completely disgraceful.

I’m unsure if the litter was atypical of a Sunday morning but why isn’t this park being respected by the locals that use it? More to the point what was the point in installing a CCTV camera on the park, which is clearly not doing its job?
