I first started with a youtube channel under Dorisanne13. On top of doing short commercial videos about my screenplays I have…

Posted by Sarah Oxley on May 24, 2012 at 8:40am 0 Comments

Hobbies are an important part of growing up. I learnt so much from being part of clubs and societies at school, but it wasn't always easy to find clubs which could hold my interest, or even just finding out what kind of clubs are available. It seems to be getting even harder for kids today to discover hobbies that they are really passionate about and then finding clubs that can provide them with regular input for these hobbies. 

The choice is vast, of course, but getting the…
