This applies to SCHOOLS, HOUSING and BUSINESSES, and could radically affect local areas .

My Takeaway, My Choice! A little update on My Choice – A simple way to choose a better balance at our local takeaways.
Back in 2010, EcoLocal asked Hackbridge residents how they could be helped to make healthier choices.
Local people said that when it came to food, they wanted to find it easier to make a more balanced choice from the food available locally.
With this in mind, since July, a My Choice menu has been available in five participating Hackbridge takeaways which have highlighted special choices and balanced meals.
Below you can read what each takeaway is still offering to make it easier for you to make a balanced choice when scanning the menu. Reports from residents have been really positive and the logo well recognised. So the next time you visit any of the participating takeaways look out for the My Choice logo and posters to see exactly what they are doing to help you make a balanced choice when ordering.
Remember: My Takeaway, My Choice!
What you can find at Equinox Fish Bar
• A ½ portion of chips when you know
you are not that hungry • Freshly steamed pea or sweetcorn
pots and fresh salad – veg is fun • Fresh fruit juice and water help
reduce your sugar intake
What you can find at Jhorna Tandoori

vegetable portion to help you reach your 5 a day

What you can find at Asia Tandoori

VICAR'S CORNER
Christmas is traditionally the time for giving presents. We buy special presents for our children and smaller ones for their Christmas stockings. We buy presents for our spouse or partner, for our parents, for our grandchildren/grandparents, our brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, and so the list goes on. We don't want to forget anyone or appear to be mean. No wonder the weeks leading up to Christmas are stressful!
In all the stress and business it is easy to forget that Christmas actually celebrates a different kind of giving entirely. “God so loved the world that he gave” – not a new laptop or latest kitchen gadget but - “his only son, so that whoever puts their trust in him should receive eternal life.” (John 3.16) Christmas celebrates the message that God gave us himself, as a visual aid to show us what he is really like. In Jesus we see that Jesus is on the side of the poor, the hurting, those who have made a mess of their lives. We are given the good news that God is not out to punish us or tell us off, but that he came as a baby simply to share our life and to share his life with us.
The result of that is that we do receive gifts through what happened in Bethlehem and Jerusalem two thousand years ago – gifts of faith, of hope, of love. St Paul wrote, “Strive for the greater gifts, And I will show you a still more excellent way...Now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 12,13) In our own strength the best we can often attain is a wistful wish-fulfilment and an attempt to be kind to those who don't rub us up the wrong way. Christmas offers us the opportunity to point our minds in God's direction and ask him to make us the kind of people we (and he) would really like us to be.
And when, in a moment of quiet, we do risk turning our wills and our lives over to the care of God, we find that “hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.” (Romans 5.5)
Happy Christmas!

"Happy holidays everyone!” Hackbridge Dojo and Sensei Carlos want to take this opportunity to thank all our valued students and all the club's friends for your continued support.
Congratulations to all who will be grading in December after missing the summer grading due to the forced cancellation. I also would like to inform everyone that I am very proud of the results of the recent competition - Hackbridge Dojo has come back with 1st place on the individual Kata over 2nd Kyu, and second place on the individual Kata up to 2nd Kyu, and club challenge. Saman Rashid, Karen Graveleau and Aadhithya Samarasekara provided those results. Well done to you all.
With the first KEWAP- Knifes and edged weapons awareness course which took place in November the door was opened for more courses to come along and I've set up two dates for next year already.
