Jasper has been great supporter of the charity for many years and was recently appointed a life vice president. He said: “If I am still alive by May 2nd, it will be my pleasure to entertain many close friends from the world of journalism and entertainment. “Nothing is planned so nothing can go wrong? I am so looking forward to it I have bought a new bib and a pair of socks. Come and join me, I would dearly love to see you all. “ Derek Inman, chairman of the charity’s Midlands District, said: “Jasper at 80 – what a milestone. He is a true legend, One of the funniest comics the region has ever produced. It is a real honour that he has chosen to celebrate this special occasion with us.” Jasper, described by Jeremy Clarkson as “easily the funniest stand-up I’ve ever seen”, has enjoyed a career spanning five decades which reads like a history of comedy classics. Among his many accolades are BBC TV Personality of the Year, a Gold Medal at the New York TV and Film Awards, Midlander of the Year Award, his own ‘Star’ on Birmingham’s Walk of Stars and the British Comedy Awards Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. In recognition of his outstanding work for charity, Jasper was awarded an OBE in Her Majesty’s New Year’s Honours List in 2003. Robert Norman Davis was born in Shaftmoor Lane, Acocks Green, in Birmingham, and educated at Acocks Green Primary School and Moseley Grammar School. He worked as a trainee buyer at a city centre department store, with schoolmate Bev Bevan, who didn’t do badly for himself either, the musician featuring in the Move, Electric Light Orchestra and Black Sabbath. Acquiring the nickname Jasper aged nine, the aspiring entertainer added Carrott when he was 17, a stage name that has done him proud, supporting an ever-burgeoning talent that has seen him perform to packed audiences worldwide. Other eclectic works have included hit single Funky Moped and being part-owner of the production company Celador, makers of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, until selling out some years ago. He and his wife Hazel, a former journalist herself, have four children and a home in the Warwickshire countryside. Information Source: Journalists' Charity | eventbrite

Full pass to all 9 festival concerts at BEAST FEaST, 1-3 May. BEAST FEaST 2025 will bring friends old and new – from both far flung parts of the world and close to home – together in Birmingham. Electroacoustic music in the twenty-first century is both a local and a global art form. It is at once capable of expressing the local knowledge and culture of the many geographical regions in which it has taken root, notably with the many important electronic music studios that were founded in Japan, Africa, India, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe; and of bringing together different cultures, genres, forms, and sounds, whether through practices of deliberate hybridisation and fusion, or via juxtaposition and contrast. For the 10th Anniversary of BEAST FEaST, our goal is to make a festival which gathers that diversity together in celebration! --- Featured Artists: Myriam Boucher, Jean David Caillouët, M.

The Write Stuff Conference with Jane Considine is a one day event being held at Novotel Birmingham City Centre, 70 Broad Street, Birmingham, B1 2HT. Learn The Write Stuff system through a one day training course with creator, Jane Considine. You will spend the day learning the system amongst like-minded teachers and those within the teaching profession. You will be armed with the tools and techniques needed to implement the system immediately into your classroom. "I honestly believe this is the most meaningful and powerful course you can go on as a primary school teacher. The impact that 'The Write Stuff' approach has had within my own classroom is incredible. It is easy to implement following Jane's training and can be done completely at your own pace. The high quality modelling enables the children to succeed when they come to do their own independent writing and they love to see their own work regularly celebrated on the wall in the Sentence Stacking. The fact that everything is so visual has helped with my setting where a high proportion of children are EAL. 'The Write Stuff' has totally revolutionised my current practice and produced some really incredible writing that the children are proud of. Who doesn't want a vocabulary rich classroom where children are excited to write?" - Helen Buckingham, Year 2 Teacher What is The Write Stuff? The Write Stuff is based on two guiding principles; teaching sequences that slide between experience days and sentence stacking lessons. With modelling at the heart of them, the sentence stacking lessons are broken into bite-sized chunks and taught under the structural framework of The Writing Rainbow. Teachers prepare children for writing by modelling the ideas, grammar or techniques of writing. Key benefits of The Write Stuff: Support for teachers so that they have a deeper and more flexible knowledge of sentence structure. Pupils who understand how to apply sentence scaffolds to their independent writing as they develop their expertise. Standards improve because many worked examples are provided over the year that extend understanding through a wide range of genres and non-fiction text types. Children have a clear view of what high quality writing looks like and their learning is structured clearly and misconceptions dealt with. Pupils know how to improve their writing and make it more focussed and actionable feedback is provided to guide their learning. Children have a concept of how to build, plan and complete a piece of writing due to narrative maps and non-fiction shapes. Teachers have clear pathways of how to guide pupils in weak areas such as cohesion and paragraphs. Please email events@thetrainingspace.co.uk if you have any queries or would like to know more. Invoice payments possible. T&C’s - Bookings are non-refundable if cancelled within 14 days of the event. - Eventbrite booking fees are non-refundable. If you cancel your ticket, you will receive a refund minus the cost of the booking fee. - The ticket price includes lunch and refreshments throughout the day.

Malcolm X is one of the most well known but misunderstood figures in history. No he did not hate White people, preach violence and eventually come to his senses and join the civil rights movement. Malcolm had the clearest analysis of racism and proposed a concrete solution. Join us to launch Kehinde Andrews new book and film that undoes the myths and presents the real mission of Malcolm X, 100 years since he was born. The documentary starts in Birmingham, where Malcolm spoke just nine days before he died, then travels to London and New York, to the place where Malcolm was killed sixty years ago. The film features interviews with Malcom's daughter Ilyasah Shabazz, George the Poet, Marc Lamont Hill and more. We will be running a special preview as well as talking about the book. Signed copies of the book will be available for sale on the day.
