West African Development (WAD) Football team gets
promotion
Football has always been a great interest for West African people. The
only toy a child wants is a football. Football is a tradition that can
get you fit and healthy and builds a team. By setting an example we are
trying to encourage the younger generations in our community to get
active.
We are a multicultural team where everyone socialises together. We are
planning to organise a community tournament next year which we believe
will bring communities together.
WAD played this year in Tameside Soccer Zone for the first time. After a
bad start (losing 25-2!) they got better from game to game and ended
coming second in their league and have been promoted to the next league.
For more information and to join West African Development football
team contact Alade Sanni on 07754 715 849
Everyone is welcome!

Can you help Aladdin?
Aladdin needs help for the pantomime at Hurst Community Centre, she
has been looking for two people to help her and needs urgently a
choreographer and a costumes manager.
Aladdin, Paige Murray, has spoken to Genie, Andrew Cockrane, to see if
he could rub his lamp and rustle up a choreographer and a costume
manager but nothing has happened yet.
There are about thirty children and adults in the chorus who need a
choreographer to help them with their dance routines and in the
Chinese laundry there six machinists who need a manager to organise
the costumes to be made and modified.
Anyone interested should contact the Director Lindsey Kingsley
on 07963328399 for information on the two jobs. All parts have been
cast at the auditions and everyone is now going to rehearsals which
are held on Wednesday and Thursday nights at Hurst Community Centre.
Aladdin will be on stage for the pantomime from the 1-6 December. For
tickets contact Michelle Wilson on 0799 943 7881.
