Change of career (53)
MikeD12: Did you say the Prince Charles Trust is involved?
If so, yours is a well worthwhile investment.
I wish you and your SiL every success.
In 2002 some of my colleagues and I did something similar through the Aircraft Restoration Group that we co-founded in the 70's.
We were / are teaching young kids privately proper engineering instead of the crap they get at schools. We encoraged them to join the cadet forces and have had several lads and a few girls accepted for skilled trades in the RAF, Navy Fleet Air Arm, Army and the Army Air Corps so Good Luck from Mike

Thanks,
It does take a lot of effort to persuade the trust to fund a project , but I can't take much credit for that. My daughters boyfriend put in most of the work but I've finally given up my job in order to concentrate on the marketing side. Things such a venues, advertisement , sponsorships & websites.... We're hoping to get up & running by January .

truheart1941: yes...i,ve decided..to resume my butchering skills..and to open a small shop in Israel.....selling pork pies/hind quarter meat./pork sausages.failing that..i might...reconcider...becomeing a monk.
Good luck with the first option - as long as the Pork is Kosher
As for the second - Being of Ipsissimus rank - The Highest degree in Satanism and higher than a 33° Freemason, I'm sure the Pope and Catholic Cardinals in the Vatigoonery or in Ireland close to Molly will welcome you with open arms and habits.

mollybaby: Interesting you should say that about rugby.
In this country it was even worse. It was not just seen as an 'English' sport and therefore church-run school (the majority of schools ) wouldn't allow it to be played, but also the sport of the rich (fee-paying schools played it)
But in Limerick, the home of Munster rugby and setting for the depressing Angela's Ashes, it was considered the sport of the working-class.

There are exceptions, of course.. But the opportunities for underprivileged sportsmen & women, is limited.. I used to pay for my daughters tennis lessons , which set me back £100 per month.. With professional coaching , it would have set me back another £200.. That's just one example of why this country has so few good players on the world stage.

One2note: I've decided to change careers & go in a completely new direction...
I handed in my resignation & decided to concentrate on a new business venture .. I know it's a risk but I feel it's a risk worth taking..
Does anyone else feel that they need to break free from their current employment & take a chance on something that may have better rewards in the future?

All the very best with your new project John.
My brother did something very similar. He was instrumental in setting up a sports college for young children who would ordinarily slip through the cracks, so to speak.
He has since changed his career, but I believe the college is still up and running.
Only for the brave. Go you...

Good - I take your point about funding Fortunately paople 2wo own aircraft are self made wealthy and we engineers are highly skilled and educated working class whom they respect. I have to disagree with you about Rugby though as being a non playing member of Thanet Wanderers RUFC, one of the worlds oldest amateur Rugby clubs who, along with Blackheath and others in Kent have always had kids teams from all backgrounds. Many are almost entirely working people in all trades as opposed to wealthy pen pushers and lah de dah parasites who call it Rugger etc and the ultra snobs of Amateur Tennis clubs like one local Tennis club who still frown on 3 teams from TWRUFC out of the 6 playing At their St Peters home ground every Saturday, despite facing a court action some years ago when an ex Rugby playing parent's Daughter, a working class local teacher sued them for wealth discrimination and they lost.
Which Age group should my child be in?- Reception at school is Reception Rugby

Yr 4 U9’s Mini Rugby - Contact
Yr 5 U10’s Mini Rugby - Contact
Yr 6 U11’s Midi Rugby - Contact
Yr 7 U12’s Midi Rugby – Contact
What age do they start tackling?- Children start tackling in the U9 section of Mini Rugby.

One2note: No..
It's a football academy for children between the ages of 7-15 I've set up for my future son-in-law, who's career was tragically ended , due to a freak injury ..
The project will give many kids with a promising career, the opportunity to get into professional football by coaching & giving them the right guidance on how to achieve their goals.

Sports academies (including football) can be lucrative and some parents are so delusional and spend lots of money trying to make their children stars in sports.
It is good for children to exercise yet it could be better to teach them some skills -as well- to prepare them for life.
Any way, people should enjoy what they do day after day.

I don't want to give all my secrets away but I understand that many parents spend untold amounts of money , hoping that one day, their children will become household sports stars..
The difference with our academy is, that we only take in the elite, because our rewards will be in the future when/ if , they get a pro. contract.. There's no point in giving children false hope , when clearly , they won't make the grade.

I'm at the stage of my life where I don't have the responsibilities I had previously of having a family & mortgage.. I can now afford to take a chance on a career that's been close toy heart & can benefit others.

Elite , as in the ones that show potential , and train them on to such time, as they get professional contracts..

Having had to wrote reports on projects and other matters I knew and understood instinctively the context in which you used the word elite in your sentence which was as usual picked up on, by A.N.Other.
But I suggest that many other English speakers and even some UK folk may have taken it as toffee nosed exclusive or even offensive.
the two word I would have used would be "potential" as that stops most Nit pickers -- BUT there will always be one (0)
