It is so important for youngsters to be into sport from an early age so they develop habits of fitness and muscle tone, not to mention the discipline and ability to work as a team that come with being involved in sport.


It can be tricky in London but what do you do to ensure your children become enthusiastic about sport? Especially over the winter.... We play a lot of tennis and playdates are generally kicking a ball in the park, then dinner. More ideas welcome.

Well, we take our two swimming quite reguarly, I used to dive for my county in my teens *preens*. We're also a family of avid cyclers, and the moment our eldest was old enough for a bike seat (Hamax Smiley, when he was about ten months old) we got one, and he goes on the bike a lot. Now we have an adventure AT3 trailer which we wheel both babies around in, so although they're not actually cycling yet (save for my eldest's balance bike) they're familiar and comfortable with bikes. Southwark have an excellent gymnastics club, which is held at Brunswick Park primary school, in SE5 here: http://www.southwarkgymnastics.co.uk/


JAGS have a tonne of stuff for children over the weekend; our son loved trampolining on a Saturday, my husband's work schedule means that he's been unable to take him for a few months which is unfortunate.


Honestly when it comes to sport, I think we're spolit for choice locally.

Ruth, diving - respect!

Thank you for the ideas.

I feel gymnastics over the winter coming on.

Cycling makes me nervous in london as I fear cars are still not sufficiently accustomed to bikes but eg hiring bikes in the park is great fun over the summer.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
