Could be of interest for some Flyers-post here if you're going in case we can form a group :-)

Another nice opportunity for young people with learning difficulties or any disability in the South East - to join this fantastic group. South East offers ski training sessions at Brentwood and a great annual ski trip, which my son was lucky enough to join last week in Serre Chevalier. DM for more info.

Delighted to welcome another new member this week - and today Luke was presented with his top by none other than Flyers Founder (est. 1982), the visionary Pat Vincent :-)

One of the things we most enjoy is welcoming new members! And Kieran has been a GREAT addition since his first visit - and was awarded his Flyers top today, to become a fully fledged member :-)

A MASSIVE Thank You to our latest (anonymous) donor on Stewardship!! Your generosity is helping to create more great opportunities for sport and friendship in Chelmsford - most recently to a brand new group of 20 young people with special needs (who LOVED it!!)

Great session at Chelmsford Sport & Athletics Centre today - the blue team beat the greens by the odd goal, with Luke top scorer; then a great example of eyes-on-the-ball at cricket in the 2nd half!

Numbers growing at the Flyers with new joiners from Thriftwood College and School :-)
