Look @ Me Week! Islanders invited to take part
Jersey residents are being invited to take part in Look @ Me week.

With the aim to help raise the profile of the work undertaken by the Jersey Society for Deaf Children and Young Adults (JSDCYA), Look @ Me week will run from this Saturday 3rd May 2008.

Numerous events and activities have been programmed which will help raise the profile of the JSDCYA.

"There are between 4000 and 4500 hearing aids issued by the hospital and 40 of these users are children and young adults," explains JSDCYA Chairman Malcolm Perree. "The Society supports all types of hearing loss, from temporary loss such as glue ear, to permanent, mild hearing loss to profound hearing loss, and it is vital that we raise the awareness of the work we do in order to maintain the level of care and support we are currently able to provide. Look@Me Week is the perfect opportunity to help us with this goal."

The following activities will take place during Look@Me week:

Listening Bus – Saturday 3rd May
Adults and children are invited to visit the Listening Bus, which will be parked at Le Rocquier School between 1pm and 5pm. Parking is available at St Clement’s School. The Listening Bus brings technology to deaf children and their friends and includes amplified phones, textphones and videophones, alarm clocks that shake you awake, signed or subtitled films and lots more. All are welcome.

Deaf Awareness exhibition at the Library
With kind permission of Jersey library, a display profiling the work of the Society will run throughout the week from 3rd to 10th May.

Signed Storytime in the Library
On Tuesday 6th (11-11.30am) and Thursday 8th May (2-2.30pm) story time in the Library will be signed. All are welcome.

Ambulance/Fire Station visit
On 10th May, members of the Society and their families are being given a signed tour of the Ambulance and Fire station. Two groups of 12 children will have a tour, one at 10am and the other (signed) at 2pm. Please note, the tour is for Society members only.

Krazy Kat Theatre Company
Kindly supported by Moore Stephens, the Krazy Kats Theatre company, which specialises in introducing young people to live visual theatre, combining dance, song, mime, puppets and sign language, will be in the island to perform to six local primary schools. A special performance of the show “Growing, Growing, Gone” will take place for Society members on Sunday 18th May.

Judging by the number of people swanning about in big shiny 4WDs, I thought every week was Look @ Me week

Ahh...the Chelsea Tractor!

The absolute, definate, undeniable transport mode of choice for those "ladies who lunch" whether they are taking their overfed 2.4 kids to school...or alternatively using it as a display case for their ludicrously oversized, panda looking diesigner shades!

Ladies, remember, when parking badly please don't be seen dead doing it in a car under six-foot-tall, that just wouldn't do!

Can anyone tell me where the off road bits are on the way to JCG?
