We are delighted with so many students, teachers, parents and friends of BCS joining our strava club account. In order for the club admins to be able to total up the distances covered by all the club members it would be great if you could grant permission to the account called MayTheRoadRiseToMeetYou BCS on the strava app. This account will be disabled at the end of the month. Thank you for all your support.

Revive, Restore, Laugh You are the creator of your experiences and no external event or circumstance can determine your experience. Within you, you have the unique potential to create the best experience imaginable. When you feel positive and full of vitality, it significantly impacts your actions and experiences, just as when you are feeling depleted and downbeat your experiences are the poorer. Sometimes, the demands in our lives grow at a rate greater than our ability to respond. But here’s a thought.... The electronic devices we carry round or that sit on our desk receive new software updates every few weeks so that they can stay up to date with the ever changing environment. How does our behaviour reflect the changing world around us? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Einstein Our ability to adapt and change increases significantly when we are upbeat, positive and full of energy. One simple way to activate your inner source of energy is to laugh. Research shows that laughing relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after. It boosts the immune system and decreases stress hormones. So this week, find opportunities to revive and restore your depleted self. Laugh to lift your spirits and update your inner “software” to enable you to respond more effectively to the changing world around you. Whether its Michael McIntyre, Neil Delamere, Billy Connolly, Des Bishop or anyone else that makes you laugh, spend some time having a good belly laugh. Ann Bryan Smollin tells us that Laughter... Lightens the load Avoids negativity Unites hearts Gathers people together Heals heartache Tickles the soul Energises the human spirit; and Restores us to wholeness and holiness
