Volleyball in London

Another video... (If you want to play volleyball on a Saturday afternoon, get in touch.)

Free tickets to British Motor Show

The British International Motor show is now on at ExCel London. Tickets cost £20 but if you spend £30 or more at Burton, you get a pair of tickets for free! There's still a week left of the show so plenty of time! Note also that tickets are going fairly cheaply on eBay...

More Olympic volleyball please

I'm a bit of a volleyball nut. And I want to see more of it covered on TV during the forthcoming Olympic Games. So I've written a letter to the BBC and I'm hoping you might also want to send in should you feel the same way.

Btw, In doing some of the research I stumbled upon this article about the history of volleyball.

Fighting cancer

Here's a little plug for my godfather's charity -

UCARE (Urology Cancer Research and Education) supports cancer research projects in Oxford that are taking a leading role in fighting cancer. Urological cancers represent nearly 20% of all cancers diagnosed in the UK each year. Your support will make a difference!

Show us a better way

The UK government have come up with a good idea! Show Us a Better Way is a competition that invites ideas for making better use of public information. These could be for improving health, education, justice or society at large. Some of the ideas already posted are really quite good... The prize fund is worth £20,000!

The last two... for now

Bulgarian and Finnish have been added to the site. Finnish because it is a Scandinavian language after all and was missed off previously (oops!) and Bulgarian in honour of the ex-national player who comes to our little London volleyball meet-ups. Tenuous, but a good enough reason for us.
