News about Primary Schools in Lockdown

My views: Absolutely horrified for that young girl. If the machete-holder is still out there (which he is), hopefully he's brought to justice and that there is a group of people that can help the girl and her family...unlike some people who were too busy caring about getting home and in their cars.

NOTE: I only know that no one helped the young girl because a friend on Facebook told me about this and from the mum, the girl said no one helped her get home. People need to start caring about the world they live in. I can understand people wanna be safe but not hearing her situation? You're not in any book.

Looking for casual football games in Southampton? ⚽️

Post image
17 Upvotes

Since there’s another weekly game I’m sharing this once more. It got more people playing last time so I hope it’s useful to anyone new to Southampton or anyone who’s desperate for a game. I help a non profit organise social games at Oasis Academy Lords Hill SO16 0XN every Tuesday and Thursday night so ideal for anyone in Lordshill, Lordswood, Coxford, Aldermoor, Rownhams, Nursling, Millbrook, Maybush, Redbridge, Shirley, Bassett and town. It's 1hr 8 aside on astro. All levels welcome even if you’re not fit or haven’t played in years.

There’s no commitment, you just turn on and play whenever you're available and all you need are football boots.

Great way to improve fitness, confidence and your social circle. I've met all my best friends through the game.

Drop a quick comment or DM if you fancy playing and I’ll add you to the players list ⚽️

Christmas photo shoots

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m looking for recommendations for a photographer who is doing festive photo shoots please! Ideally for our small family but just our little one (6 months) would be okay too! A lot I’ve seen are focused around older children and he’s only just sitting up on his own. Looking for a more natural style rather than the typical white studio. TIA

Background in admin and recruitment but honestly happy to do anything! Cash in hand would be ideal but not likely.. In the minus until the end of the month so in a dire situation

This fell off my bag yesterday on either Onslow Road or Portswood Road between the big Charlotte Place roundabout and Sainsburys.

Not exactly a high value item but asking just in case.

Help

My mum put my great granddad's antique plane in the bin and the bin got collected this morning I only just found out it was put in the bin and I'm heartbroken as it's the only thing if his I had. Ik the chances are very very slim but if anyone reading this works for the council could help me get it back again ik the chances are next to none but I'm just so upset.

Least busy bouldering facility??

2 Upvotes

Hello, I’m new around here and see a couple bouldering places about and even in romsey, but I’m not too fond of the big crowds and was wondering which one is least busy and around what time is best to go for no crowds.
Many thanks 🙏
