Innovation and Leadership – the convergence of Creativity and Science
In Sir Ken Robinson’s interview for the first of BBC Radio 4’s The Educators series, he lamented that schools are inadvertently crushing creativity with a narrow curriculum which favours a ‘particular type of intelligence’ and league tables which can be likened to the Eurovision Song Contest of education. Who better to talk about creativity? Sir Ken’s book ‘Out of Our Minds’ is an inspiring read about learning to be creative and his TED Talks receive more hits on YouTube than Bill Gates’ or Bono’s.

Pub Crib
There has been a cribbage team playing from The Little Rose since the early 1960’s as part of the Greene King Cambridge Cribbage League. In 1986 we started the Haslingfield & District Cribbage League consisting of local pubs/clubs, all within a radius of 10 miles of Haslingfield, as a breakaway from the larger Greene King league. At present we have 9 teams playing on Thursday evenings. The Little Rose has been quite successful in the past, winning the league in 2007 and recently in the 2013-2014 season with players winning individual competitions. At the end of the first half of this current season we are lying 5th in the table, with plenty of time to catch up until fixtures finish in April 2015. For more details contact either the Little Rose or Keith Murray (keith@murraysouthwell.plus.com) and both will pass on your messages.
