1. DIARY & BLOG STUFF
One more workshop to go for 2006! In November I was invited to work in libratries for Kick Into Reading with Mansfield Town and West Bromwich Albion (and Baggy The Bird!) .In October it was hectic month of Kick it Workshops at
Plymouth Respect Festival, Off The Shelf Festival, Sheffield, two Welsh Prisons ,Oxford , Fulham, Chelsea ,Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United , Birmingham City , Bristol City Week of Action Launch and a partidge in a pear tree! Kick It Out were fantastic in making many of the dates happen. Thank you Zakir, Alison, Fatima, Becky and Piara.

Amongst the media coverage of the Week of Action there was a moving feature on Chelsea’s first black player Paul Canoville on Football Focus accompanied by a KIO rap-poem especially written by myself. The item aired on Saturday October 21st on BBC 1’s Football Focus. Watch it online here, it’s stlil there..but just !
