I’ve learned three things this week… Don’t ever call your personal trainer “predictable” as he will then introduce much heavier weights or a new exercise you really didn’t predict. Don’t invite your personal trainer to be a guest speaker at a business networking event (www.telfordbusinessclub.com) and wear your tightest trousers as he will then ask you to be his […]

The agonising wait for GCSE results

14 Aug 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Adam Philpott, 16-years-old from Shrewsbury Every student’s nightmare: results day, or as some say, judgment day. The day can go one of two ways, either disastrously wrong or brilliantly well. Hopefully it’s the latter. Until recently, I have been enjoying my extended summer break, free from school-related stress. But with results day imminent, I have been reintroduced to the […]

The finances of a student

05 Aug 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Matthew Bullin One of the hottest topics of debate in the media currently is the tuition fees that students have to pay to their universities. At £9,000 a year (plus living costs) it is an outrageously expensive endeavour for anyone who wants to gain a degree in this day and age. As a student myself having just completed my […]

Glasgow 2014 to take gold?

31 Jul 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Matthew Bullin It has been widely documented that London 2012 was a little bit of a success. A reason to be optimistic and happy, as the country revelled in the popularity of the Olympic Games on a worldwide level, as well as the extraordinary achievements of the GB athletes, most of which emerged from obscurity to become household names. […]

Ditch that Scratch

Guest blog by Ace Car Care Has your car ever been scratched by a horse biting it? No..? Admittedly, that’s quite an unusual one, but you would be amazed at some of the stories behind the various scratches we see at Ace Car Care. It’s fair to say that scratches are one of the most common ways of damaging a […]

Time for a Jolly Good Bike Ride

By Lorna McCann Cycling has gone a bit mad here in Shropshire. A couple of weeks ago former British cycling champion Chris Boardman MBE rode into town and on Sunday past (May 25) Olympic gold medalist Joanna Rowsell MBE took part in the hugely successful Shrewsbury Cycle Grand Prix along with 130 or so amateur and professional cyclists from across […]

Volunteer reading helpers in schools – why should we?

15 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Kirsty Smallman I’ve always loved reading and I will read just about anything whether it be books, newspapers, magazines or the back of an empty biscuit wrapper. There is just something about the written word and as a former journalist I probably have a passion for it more than most. That’s why when my two boys were born I […]

Luxurious nights at the cinema

10 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lisa Rowley I’ve always loved going to the cinema from a young age when I’m old enough to remember going along to cult favourites such as Tron and ET. Then visiting a picture house was a difference experience when the main film was preceded by another movie, often made by the Children’s Film Foundation, and there was time to […]

Welcome to our latest J&PR team member Lorna McCann

01 Jan 2014

by Rebecca Dutton

By Lorna McCann I remember the night well. It was dark, windy and wet and I was sat in a small village hall in the coastal town of Buckie, located on the Morayshire Coast in North Scotland. I was surrounded by a dozen or so very weathered-looking, rosy cheeked fishermen. As a reporter, I was there of course, to get […]
