Eager Beavers

12:32pm Tuesday 27th November 2001

THREE members of the Beavers Swimming Club took part in the National Association of Swimming Clubs' Championships, held at Newbold Comyn Park pool, Royal Lemaington Spa.

Helen Ford from Dartford, Erith's Tina Rushbrook and David Sadler from Welling, all qualified from their heats to make their respectice finals.

But the level of competition was extremely high and they all just missed out on medals.

The Beavers Swimming Club is open at Crook Log Swimming Pool, Bexleyheath, every Friday from 6pm to 7.30pm.

It encourages people with any kind of disability to join, but they must have a carer in the pool with them at all times if they are unable to swim unaided.

If you are interested, come along and ask for the Beavers' secretary, who will be pleased to help you.

Eye, Cap'n: A Roger Moore Special

It’s hard to believe that Sir Roger Moore is 80 because he’s as sharp as a knife and as self-mocking as ever.

United go down to narrow defeat

Altrincham 1 (Little 64), Oxford Utd 0 OXFORD United paid for not turning dominance into goals as they fell to a sucker punch at Moss Lane on Sunday.

Kiss Bar is next to Lava & Ignite on Park End Street, and I’m guessing that not everyone will have set foot there before. This is more because it’s so tiny rather than being any reflection of how good it is.

Status Quo (supported by Luke White) @ the New Theatre

Swaying back and forth in unison to the riffs bouncing off their guitars, you know what to expect with Status Quo. Even if they have become a bit overused in the past 40 years, cliches have a golden core. For many bands, repeatedly playing their successful songs becomes a kind of purgatory ending in a refusal to even listen to their hit singles any more, let alone play them. But this five-piece never seem to tire of their best tracks, and their infectiously energetic live performance got their loyal middle-aged fans shaking the body parts they forgot they had.
