Previous titles read include A Thousand Splendid Suns, If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things and It’s Not About The Bike. We take turns to lead the discussions and whoever is leading the discussion also provides a list of books from which we vote to choose the next book we read. We are a fairly low-brow group and usually start with coffee, cakes and a natter before getting on with the serious side of things. To find out the latest book we are reading vising the website below and have a look under regular events.

We are a small group who meet informally at The Roebuck Pub every Tuesday at 8pm to drink coffee, Knit our own projects and natter away about all sorts of things.

People of all abilities come along and current project range from baby clothes and blankets to stuffed toys and ipod covers. Come along and join us.

Welcome to the world of Model Yacht Racing. Model yacht racing is very similar in performance to full sizes yachts or dinghies, providing great fun and fellowship, it is truly a sport for all ages and can be done all year.

What is Radio Controlled Yacht Racing?
Radio controlled yachts are controlled from the shore via a radio transmitter and race around a set course. Radio controlled yacht racing follows the same racing rules as full size boats and requires similar skills in boat positioning, tactics and tuning.

Where do I start?
Well you’ve made a good start by contacting our club. A few visits on race days will show you at first hand how the day is run. Talk to any of our members and they will give you lots of information on the classes of boats sailed and the racing programme.

Welcome to Essex Wado Ryu Karate

Essex Wado Ryu Karate (E.W.R.K.) is a group of traditional karate clubs that teach the art of Wado Ryu Karate in the area of Essex.
Chief Instructor is Sensei Alistair Thomson (3rd Dan), a karate practitioner with many years of experience in Wado Ryu and other martial arts.

Values of Karate

You may be asking, how does all this "values" stuff work? And why does karate manage to do a better job teaching them?
Again, more than any other sport, Karate gives you the chance to explore your innate powers. You will marvel as you increase in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start. In fact, your physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of your value skills, mental and spiritual. Not cut off from your physical skills, but intimately connected, even bonded, to them.

These include:-
• Self Confidence
• Self Esteem
• Self Control
• Respect (for self and others)
• Fitness

These are just a few of the values that can be achieved within Karate.
