Took sam to SN rugby today, provided free as the local club saw other clubs do the sessions and fancied a go. They did it for free, which was so generous.

DS loved it. there was more than one volunteer coach to every single child (Shock Smile) and as Sam is fast, he could shine in a safe environment.

What got me though and made me Grin Grin Grin was that, instead of complaining about shortags / budgets / waiting lists etc as anyone we encounter seems wont to do, I overheard the huge, gruff Welsh rugby player descriing the session to a mate as

'awesome'.

Some people really make you Grin, don't they?

fabulous Grin

when dh and I were still living in the UK - he dontated a whole stack of chelsea shirts he had collected through the years to an organisation that does football for lads with special needs. We went along to their training session to see what they do and accompanied them on a stamford bridge tour. The guy that runs the group was fab... the kids were amazing as were the others who worked with them.

Just fab.

This chap freely admitted he had no knowledge f their consitions (I think most were probably As / AdHD, althou some were clearly physically impaired) and apart from having a mate with SN, he had no idea and was just going to go for it.

that is probably best - at least he did not come with any preformed ideas and expectations - going with the flow was probably fine.
