			<description><![CDATA[Hi.<br />
<br />
I enjoy playing squash and badminton, but have been been out of action for almost year due to injury.  That said, I have been keeping fit while injured, so I should soon be up to speed once I start.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone in or around the Theale - or nearby, say Reading or Newbury - plays squash or badminton, and if so, do you fancy a game?  I was playing colleagues from work before I became injured, but they have either moved on or given up playing.<br />
<br />
It would be great to get back into a routine of playing at least one of these sports again on a regular basis.   <br />
<br />
Please message me or post a reply if you are interested in playing or if you know of someone looking for a decent game.<br />
<br />
The nearest badminton club I could find is Reading and Country Badminton Club, who are only interested in "attracting established quality players who have played in the top divisions of regional league". I don't meet the criteria, but I'm no novice: I first started playing both these sports over 20 years ago.<br />
<br />
Cheers.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Does anyone have any information about Pincents Kiln which I presume was at the bottom of Pincents Lane and where the office/industrial park is now situated. The kiln was definately operable around the late 19th and early 20th century as I am trying to trace a certain Frederick Lovegrove who worked there as a Lime Merchant at that time. The only other details known about him are that he married a Tilehurst woman Edith Mary Fuller who died in the 1960's and that they had children, however Frederick Lovegrove died in December 1933. There has been talk that he was also a boxer around the turn of the 19th and 20th century.[/size][/font]]]></description>

I am starting a  ADULT drama tuition class ( ages 12+ no maximum age limit) from scratch in Mortimer Village, the aim is to help adults and young adults on their way to drama school, or just help passionate Thespians improve their acting skills.<br />
<br />
In my class we will work on different acting techniques, Improv and scripts from stage and screen to improve overall skills.<br />

I am a professional actor who has worked in the West End and have 6 years teaching experience and full CRB check. Yet this is a small group, not a business, so any help would be appreciated.<br />

No experience needed! Any age welcome. YOUR FIRST CLASS IS FREE!<br />

<br />
Nothing against IKEA in principle. However  Is this the right size development for such a small  Industrial Estate ?<br />
<br />
Yes it will bring jobs to the area  but  do the local residents have to suffer any  more congestion on local roads (especially if Pincents Hill 750 homes is granted  on Appeal) <br />
Perhaps the area could  be reserved for some companies in smaller units that way it will still be developled  provide employment and the area tidied up. <br />
<br />
Several residents in Theale have expressed concern over traffic issues e.g<br />
Getting out of Theale Village at High St end  onto A4  can take anything up to 15mins<br />
A4 Bath Rd M4 Junction 12<br />
Visitors to the IKEA store parking in roads  in Theale then walking  the footpath over the M4 to the store<br />
<br />
For those that don't know - apologies if you do <br />

P.S  Perhaps Mr Macro could clarify this for me (as closing date for comments is Thurs 24th March)  Will West Berks Council  still accept comments  up until a date is set for the proposed application to go  before a planning committee?<br />

Perhaps the area could  be reserved for some companies in smaller units that way it will still be developled  provide employment and the area tidied up. <br />
<br />
Several residents in Theale have expressed concern over traffic issues e.g<br />
Getting out of Theale Village at High St end  onto A4  can take anything up to 15mins<br />
A4 Bath Rd M4 Junction 12<br />
Visitors to the IKEA store parking in roads  in Theale then walking  the footpath over the M4 to the store<br />
<br />
