About Clapham Common and the Bandstand:
In the centre of the Clapham Common is the Clapham bandstand constructed in 1890. It is the largest bandstand in London and a Grade II Listed Building. In 2005-2006, a full restoration of the bandstand and surrounding landscape took place, partly funded by an £895,000 lottery grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund matched by local fundraising efforts and the proceeds of the Ben and Jerry’s Summer Sundae event held on Clapham Common.  In the summer, there always seems to be an ice cream van around, but failing that, there’s a small cafe/bar right in the centre of the common.

Parking:
Parking around Clapham Common is tough at the best of times – most of the roads are resident permits only, and the rest are red routes. 

Transport:
Clapham Common tube station and Clapham South tube station are on the edge of the common.

Amanda’s Action Kids, Sunday 18th May at 11:00 AM …and it’s FREE! – at the Paddling Pool, Duke’s Meadows , off Alexandra Gardens, London, W4 2RX (Nearest Tube Station: Turnham Green). 

Amanda will be supporting the Duke’s Meadows Summer Fun events programme on Sunday 18th May,  where kids can get fit in her lively session set to a soundtrack of nursery rhyme classics and the latest pop songs, accompanied by a variety of props and musical instruments. Age 4 months to 5 years but parents are welcome to join in. There’s a cafe and farmers’ market nearby for replacing energy burned off.
 

The creation of the pool is the culmination of 6 years work by the local community through the Friends of Duke’s Meadows. The £380,000 cost of the project was funded through the Friends social enterprises such as the Sunday Farmers & Fine Foods Market and grants from the London Marathon Trust, Living Spaces, Garfield Weston Foundation, Brett Trust and Hounslow Council. Stanhope PLC donated trees and shrubs to landscape the area.

Duke’s Meadows Trust have established a regular farmers’ market in the yard in front of the Masonian Bowls Club on Duke’s Meadow. This is a particularly apt place for such a market since the building used to be the stores for the market gardens that once thrived in the area. It provides a regular stream of revenue, opening up a range of new possibilities for the charity to improve the Meadows.

The market is held on Sundays from 10am to 2pm and can be reached from the path beside Cavendish School or from Edensor Road through Promenade Approach.

Enjoy your time in Duke’s Meadow with Amanda – she’s ‘brill’ and whatsmore …it’s absolutely FREE!  Hope the weather’s nice!

Often, people who know Amanda, wonder how she manages to keep all those ‘balls in the air’ at the same time.  Andif you have a look at Amanda’s classes timetable you’ll see that there are at least 16 different classes going on each week – as well as the children’s parties throughout the London area.  As you can imagine, that requires a small corps of part-time dedicated ‘helpers’ to keep the Amanda show on the road, day by day, and to help her cope with any unforeseen eventualities – you know, like sickness, holidays and ‘real-life’ things like that!

Well Amanda’s now at the point where she’s looking to add to her pool of talented part-time helpers in and around London.  So if you’ve ever been to an Amanda class or an Amanda party and thought, “that looks fun” why not consider whether it’s something you’d like to get involved in? 

Typically, you’d need to be able to fill-in on an ad hoc basis for some of Amanda’s classes and /or parties, to cover both planned and unplanned absences and also you’d need :

• self-employed status
• a driving licence and ready access to your own vehicle
• some free-time in the mornings during school time (for classes support)
• some free-time at weekends (for party support)
• an interest and aptitude for children’s activities and entertaining
• a very flexible approach to being called in at short notice (sometimes)

If you think this is something you might be interested in (on an ad hoc, part-time basis) why not give Amanda a call on 07946 707 695.
