NEWSROOM BOOTCAMP - using TV News to hardwire your team’s communications & soft skills!!
Learn from nearly 30 years’ newsroom experience from a BBC TV reporter and presenter to help teams work faster, hit deadlines and get more done on the day
In just over one hour, you’ll debate news on the spot. You’ll hold snap news meetings, interrupted by breaking news. You’ll write headlines on a deadline. You may even read off the newsreaders’ teleprompter!
Five memorable “Newsroom Secrets” will ensure the learning sticks
You’ll come away energised, focussed, amused, understanding each other better — and ready to tackle your business challenges, on the day
About the Speaker
John Young is a BBC TV presenter who has distilled the energy of a working TV newsroom into a range of edge-of-the-seat keynotes and workshops.
They reveal in jaw-dropping detail how seat-of-the-pants TV News production can be. But John doesn’t just bask in the audience’s fascination. He then makes it relevant, with key business messages about pivoting skills, crystal clear communication, time management, leadership and courage. They are his own product, not the BBC’s, but are based on nearly 30 years’ on-going experience in the front line of daily news reporting at the corporation.
They are also a fascinating insight into how the media works — without being ‘media training’ — and are a lot of fun.
John’s clients include EasyJet, American Express, Gatwick Airport, Vistage, the English Rugby Football Union and Kent County Council — he has also delivered his workshops as a Guest Speaker to passengers on board P&O cruises and (as a professional member) the Professional Speaking Association.
John joined the BBC from Cambridge University as one of 12 news trainees in 1989. This provided him with two years’ training in BBC editorial standards, before choosing his own path as a reporter and presenter in Southampton, Belfast, Truro, Newcastle, Bristol and Brighton. He also worked as a reporter in the late 1990s in the national BBC newsroom.
In 2009, he was selected for a year’s secondment as a Trainer of incoming journalists at the BBC Academy. Here, he was able to observe and develop various cutting edge training tools to ensure that workshops are interactive and enjoyable, as well as effective.
This event is expected to be well subscribed and we only have 50 seats. If you book and are unable to come, please do let us know as there will be a waiting list.
Plenty of free parking is available.
Tea, coffee, cold drinks together with pastries / snacks will be served.

Running Time: 116 mins (excl Trailers, Advertisements) Genre: Comedy, Music
Meet Up on TUESDAY 2nd of June 2019 in Greenbridge EMPIRE Cinema.
✴️Time: TBC (late afternoon)✴️
Tickets needs to be purchased in ADVANCE (new movie, cheap tickets day - might be busy).
We will meet by the Ticket's Machines inside cinema. Exact time will be announced in a next few days.
Throughout this meet I will run through the basics of Forex Trading and aim to work our way up to the process of creating a realistic, profitable trading plan, based on real world examples (no idealistic, fake setups).
I will provide an overview of my trading strategy and how I trade using very specific patterns and setups. If we have time, I will run through live examples using my own software.
The Forex market is made up of billions of pounds. We as retail traders are but a drop in a very large ocean. This information I provide throughout this seminar is usually sold for significant amounts of money through "training courses". I don't feel the need to sell this information as there's plenty of money in the market for all of us.
At the end of the seminar I will run through how and why I have created my own trading software that I use for my own trading. I will explain the benefits this software brings to both backtesting and live trading.
We can all meet afterwards for further networking!
For our first meetup we'll have a selection of shorter talks on and around the subject. Beer and Pizza will be provided courtesy of our kind sponsors who will be hosing us in one of the newly refurbished agile environments,
Come and join us for a beginners class. No previous experience is necessary and you don't need to be able to feel your energy move. Perhaps you've already felt it before though - it's that feeling of your spine tingling. We'll be learning to consciously tap into it and control it.
We'll be doing simple, gentle movements while standing or sitting combined with relaxing deep breathing and a simple awareness practice. Hopefully by the end of the session you'll be able to feel your energy move and be feeling relaxed and energised.
You don't need to wear anything special, other than making sure you'll be warm enough to stand or sit on a bench in the park for half an hour or so, so please dress appropriately for the weather. If the forecast is for rain or to be very cold the session will be cancelled.
**Important**: Please don't eat before the class. We'll be doing very deep diaphragmatic breathing and if you've eaten it'll be far less effective and may be uncomfortable. If you're hungry before class have a small glass of milk, a spoonful of yogurt or a very small amount of some other liquid food.
Note: This is not Tai Chi. The postures are primarily static with an emphasis on moving the awareness around the body.
Using a potters wheel you can throw your very own ceramic masterpiece. There is a charge of £15 for the session which includes firing your pot. If you want to glaze it too, once it has been fired you can join the pottery hand building meetup at the studio or drop in to one of the general 2hr sessions every Tuesday and Wednesday[masked], 12-2, 4-6, or 6.30 - 8.30 pm (these sessions are £10)
Starting from – We meet outside Shrivenham primary school at 9.45 to call the register, make final checks before a prompt start at 10.00. There is some free parking but please come by bike if you can.
Many people would like to get out on their bikes but say that traffic puts them off. In fact cycling is a pretty safe means of transport especially if you are able to ride confidently. Bikeability is the “term” which means Cycling Proficiency for the 21st Century. Lew Lawton was a professional cycling instructor for 10 years working for Swindon, Wilts and West Berks council and has taught hundreds and children and adults how to safely negotiate local roads. This session is designed to show you how road positioning, keeping alert and communicating with other road users will enable you to feel safer on the roads. We will be using the Level 2 Bikeability syllabus as the basis for the session so you should already be able to ride a bike in a straight line and stop safely. If you are unsure about your ability to signal Left and Right we will help you.
This course is specifically for Shrivenham and the very local villages. The training will be geared to riding in the village. The course will take place on the local roads in Shrivenham. Starting off with the quiet ones and as we progress and gain confidence moving on to the stage where we can take our place on roads with a bit more traffic. NB we will NOT be going anywhere near the A420.
No stops are planned, but by all means bring a water bottle and snack so we can take short breaks to review our progress
Helmets are (almost) mandatory. You should really use one. A high viz is also recommended. When ever you go out on your bike you should take a spare inner Tube, a puncture repair kit and a pump.
We especially welcome newbies!
Please book onto this ride from https://www.letsride.co.uk/rides/adult-cycle-skills-session

The Encounter Weekend is a unique and life-changing experience for all those who are after more than what a normal life has to offer. It's an opportunity to have a real and true encounter with God and never be the same again. Starting on a Friday evening and finishing on Sunday afternoon, at a special venue, away from the business and noise of the city, this is the perfect occasion for you to set a weekend apart to draw near to Him and receive everything He has in store for you. With a help team to assist you in whatever need you may have over the weekend, the only thing you will have to worry about is to opening your heart and feeling the embrace of the Father's arms. You will be ministered to about His original purpose and plan for your life and how the enemy always works to try to pull us away from it. The Encounter Weekend is also a time of restoration and forgiviness, letting go of everything that holds you down and walking into a new season of victory. This will be a time when you will be drenched in God's love and kindness and will understand your true identity in Him, the identity of a beloved child. These are days when you will be filled with His glorious presence, peace and joy. Now is the time for a change, there is more to life than you can imagine.
Ofsted NEW inspection framework and changes to the EYFS September 2019
THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR CHILDMINDERS - THERE IS A SEPERATE WORKSHOP FOR SETTINGS
We have attended the Ofsted workshop in London to hear their views on the introduction of the new EDUCATION INSPECTION FRAMEWORK (EIF) and this training is to give feedback from that event.
Ofsted is clear that the ‘curriculum’, the educational choices we make for children, will be at the heart of the new framework. They use that word in the current early years inspection handbook, but have come up with a working definition so we are clear about what this means.
The EYFS (educational programme) provides the curriculum framework that childminders build on to decide what they intend children to learn and develop
Childminders decide how they will implement the curriculum so children make progress in the seven areas of learning – Ofsted will keep their definition of ‘teaching’
Childminders evaluate the impact of the curriculum by checking what children know and can do.
Ofsted recently focused a training session for their inspectors on what the ‘curriculum’ means for early years. The serving inspectors reported that they found this useful and thought provoking. Therefore, Ofsted are sharing this session with local authorities and registered early years providers including childminders. We attended one of these sessions and will feedback all the relevant information at this workshop. We will also note Ofsted's thoughts about their proposals for the EIF.
The meeting will report directly from Ofsted on their latest updates and expectations for:
What does the "curriculum" mean for Early Years
Distinguishing the curriculum from teaching and assessment
Proposals for the new EIF - the quality of education
Self-regulation
Updates from the review of the Early Learning Goals, and implications for the new EYFS
Places are limited so please book in as soon as possible. Cost £30
FAQs
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No you do not need to print the ticket or bring it to the course.
The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?
That's fine. Please contact the organisers with the names of the delegates so that we know who to expect.
