Sports

All the latest sports news and info on clubs activities and venues in Leyton

An independent magazine for independent people of Leyton and surrounding areas.
There are many free publications in circulation so what makes Leyton Life different I sense you thinking.
Me! OK I like to think the aim ultimately will be to equip people with information so they are able to exercise their basic rights when confronted with awkward organisations.
I believe there are enough facilities and funding around but people are not getting these services because of the few people not doing their jobs either properly or not at all.
Leyton Life actively encourages people to send in contributions and issues, to share with others.
So why not join the Leyton Life Club for some incentives , full details in the January/February issue.

CREDIT CRUNCH There has been widespread panic in the financial markets both here and in the US about the credit crunch. Affecting those who may have been forced to take out expensive mortgages due to their own bad credit ratings. It’s not as bad here as you may think but getting advice quickly is key to minimising further problems in the future. In the UK there are a number of ways to prevent eviction proceedings for Mortgage arrears, pr to deal with them once they have started. Firstly prospective buyers must consider their current and future earnings potential when taking out a mortgage and avoid sub prime mortgages which will be more expensive due to the risk to the lender. Once arrears accrue it is important to have a proper realistic financial statement to show the lender how the arrears can be paid. Check if you are entitled to benefits, you may be entitled to help with housing costs met via Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance or Pension Credit. Depending on family size, any disability and housing costs an entitlement can be possible. Other benefits can help too-for example tax credits. Cut spending where appropriate and ensure priority debts are paid, mortgage, council tax etc. Find ways to get stuff cheap, or even free. The internet is great for this. We help many people resolve their debt problems but we are overstretched due to both increasing demand and lack of staff as our funding has reduced. There are plenty of places to get advice over the phone or via the internet so our advice is don’t panic but act quickly. Further advice from the CAB or other organisations advising on debt. Debt-line are a good source of help and can be contacted on 0808 808 4000 . Gary Martin Welfare Benefits Caseworker/Supervisor Walthamstow CAB, 167 Hoe St, E17 3AL

News from the Lower Lea Valley The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be the catalyst for the regeneration of the Lower Lea Valley in east London.
The area in and around the Olympic Park is a site of huge potential. It has a young, diverse community but is also home to significant areas of deprivation.

Much of the site itself is contaminated, derelict and abandoned. The waterways in the area have suffered from years of neglect: water quality is poor, river walls are in a bad condition and the landscape is scarred with abandoned shopping trolleys and other rubbish strewn along the river channels.

The 2012 Games will help to revitalise this part of London and help to open the east of the capital to development opportunities. The new shopping area at Stratford City will be an important part of this growth.

Happy Mothers Day 2nd March Show your mum you care, a mother doesn’t have to be the one that gave you birth! There are lots of women and even some men fulfilling these roles for one reason or another. If taking her out to eat try E10 an excellent place to go great surroundings, and excellent staff. Children are catered for very nicely. If you are treating mother at home then spoil her with a taste of the Caribbean from T’s Deli. Various delicious meals and deserts are on offer, with helpful staff to assist you. I love my mummy Jaime age 2 My mum is so special because she makes my dinner & buys me loads of stuff to wear. Abbie-Rose age 8 My mum is special because she loves me and she cares for me when anything happens. Jessica Sky age 9 My mum is so special because she gives me whatever I want. She is a super star and is always there for me, and whenever I am stuck she always helps me Leena Marwat age 9 My mum always makes dinner and washes my clothes and helps me with my homework. Dylan age 8 Being a mum is the best in the world Barbara I love my mum because she’s always there for me. She is my hero as well as my super star. SO MY MUM IS THE BEST!! Laeeka age 11 I love my mummy because she cares for me, she tells me off at times when I am naughty, but I still love her. Brendan age 8 I love to watch my children sleep I enjoy watching them grow I take please in their company and I hope they enjoy mine too Being a mother is not easy; I’m always learning something new But it is well worth the effort!

Published in Sept/Oct 2007

Years old, married with two children & one grandchild, but another due in November! Born in Ilford, but moved to Essex Road, Leyton in 1956, where my dad (86 years young) still resides. Married to Glynis in 1974 @ St. Paul’s Church in Essex Road, which was demolished & is now part Barclay Nursery & part Cornerstone centre. I have lived in Chesterfield Road since 1981, so am very much a Leyton man, although I work as an Administration Manager for a Dutch-owned company in Brentwood, Essex. I have always loved sport, especially cricket & football. As a boy, I vividly remember walking down to the county ground in the High Road to watch Essex, as until the late 1960’s this was their main home ground. I have supported Leyton Orient since my dad first took me to Brisbane Road in 1957, so vividly remember the promotion to Division 1 in 1961-62 & of course all the relegations since then!! I played Hockey for the Old Loughtonians for over 30 years, ending up in the veterans & finally retiring 3 years ago – age having finally caught up with me. My great passion is Amateur Theatre & I am a member of local drama groups, Wadham Players & Global Theatre Company and have just returned from a great week performing at the famous Minack Theatre in Cornwall. Having lived in the same house for over 25 years, I have of course, seen a number of changes. It is true to say that 25 years ago, I knew most of the people in the surrounding houses, but now, I only know my next door neighbours; that is perhaps the saddest aspect, and I feel that we are now living in our own little “boxes”, instead of a community or neighbourhood. On the plus side, Chesterfield is a nice quiet road, with very little (if any) crime & the only problems we have is finding somewhere to park in the evening, as our road get lots of visitors’. As an AmDram enthusiast, I am appalled by the fact that our borough of Waltham Forest has no theatre space, of any kind; all we have is the odd council run hall, which are so expensive to hire, as to make it absolutely impossible for a small drama group with no funding to be able to put on a show. The council then close the halls (Chingford Assembly Hall, Lloyd Park etc), due to lack of use!!! Surely, it would not be impossible to build a multi-use space to exhibit & develop all the diverse cultural activities that abound in the borough, thus helping to foster an understanding of these different cultures & help make us a “community”, rather than a lot of different “communities!”

Blowing It

by
Claude Fontanelle

Issue 7 - Sept/Oct 2007

When you’re lying in your lonely bed

Knocking the truth in your confused head

Just think twice over what you did

What was done and what was said

Did he promise never to leave

Or was that just a myth

You wanted to believe

Was he using you or were you using him?

Was he taking advantage or just giving in?

If he won’t have a thing to do with you

Who’s laughing? Who’s crying?

Who’s fooling whom?

Ask for love but don’t expect to get it

It’s better to live life to the full, not regret it

The selfishness you accuse of him

Might sometimes be your own unspoken sin

Who’s taking advantage?

Who’s given in?

So don’t run around shouting ‘he did me wrong’

If he’s no longer with you

He never did belong

Their World

by
Saira Ahmed

Issue 8 Nov/Dec 2007

We feed the animal that is within us
We feed the hunger through others weakness
slowly picked, slowly grafted

Blinded by the 'world' that's crafted
trusting media, the telly, the radio

Brains storing false hopes and news
making no room for an opinion or voice
Leaving us without the freedom of choice
The more we get, the more we want
The more we make, the more we take

Our spirits and passions are dying inside
Afraid of being the one to confide

Open your eyes to see the masked affairs
Open your ears to hear that silent cry
Lend your hand to the innocent that falls
Seal the lies when they do call

Being afraid is something we fear
Trusting and believing will never compare
Let the world teach you things as we are
nothing but guests
War, poverty, power, control all needs to be at rest
