Do you know this monster?

Football on a wet Tuesday.

Relegated to playing on a local field, due to the sports centre closing because of a power outage. The conditions underfoot were wet and slippery, as the youth club and architecture students gathered for a kick around.

The treacherous conditions evened out the playing standard, many ending up on the floor as the ball was jostled for.

Goals were going in at both ends in an evenly fought game, Tom was guilty of squandering many of his teams chances as they pressed hard, but the defence of Team Gooch was solid if a little unsightly, breaking and counter attacking swiftly, it was all to no avail as Team Tom eventually ran out 7-5 winners.

The Friday Night Thang - Part 2

Youth Club + Pens = ???

Whilst not being entirely sure what is meant by it all, there are recurring themes within this manic drawing. Providing the Spires with a more recognisable identity within the community seems to be a key one, what with 'The Spires' blimp and one-eyed monster looming large over the area and the Arbourthorne baranding on the fence.

The Friday Night Thang

What better way to get to know The Spires' youth club users than with a friendly game of pool? Gooch and Matthew threw together a tournament while Andrew (one of the centre's full time staff and a full time laugh) organised a shakeshack of exotic milkshakes and smoothies. Crunchie and Rolo shake comes highly recomended for those with a sweet tooth!

Although the tournament didn't get finished (we hope to wrap it up next week) we did get some drawing done:

From cheese to daleks, netto to ninjas, and zipwires to zepplins, the ideas were flowing a lot faster than the pool, and even the sky was no limit!
