Organising a School Summer Fair

As summer approaches, lots of schools will be thinking about their summer fairs. These are great fun for children, parents and teachers alike as stalls take to the playground or field and games take place all afternoon. It’s a fantastic chance for children to meet their friends outside of school hours, and all the parents get to catch up with one another and meet their child’s classmates too. But what do you need to do to make sure your fair runs smoothly?

The number one thing to remember is that while the day should be fun, you should also keep everyone safe. With so many small children around, it’s vital that you keep the boundaries of your field or playground secure. Hire some fencing to make sure the space is kept safe. This means that not only can small children not escape, but also to keep people who haven’t paid to get in away.

On a similar note, make sure you have first aid provisions in place. This might be a couple of representatives from St John’s Ambulance or teachers trained in first aid. Be sure to keep boxes under some of the stalls containing plasters, bandages and safety pins, and explain all the safety rules thoroughly before starting any games.

If you are going to use furniture from inside the school, make sure it’s weatherproof or cover it in waterproof materials such as plastic. This means the furniture won’t get damaged if it rains, but means that you don’t have to buy or hire a whole new range of outdoor furniture. You will need enough tables for all the stalls, and if you are providing food you should make sure there are enough tables and chairs for anyone who wants to sit down to eat.

Birthday Ideas for a Sweet Sixteen

Sixteen. It feels almost like they were six years-old five minutes ago. Regardless, the finger food and pass-the-parcel games aren’t going to go down well anymore. Planning a party for a teenager is a pretty insurmountable task, so it’s best to consult them first...but here are some ideas for inspiration:

❤ Here’s Some Money...Don’t Spend It All On Beer

Just hand over a fistful of cash [whatever you think is reasonable] and get your teenager to plan their own party within that budget. Not only are you helping your teenager manage money better [or learn the hard way], but you’re treating them like an adult and handing them responsibility – that’s a priceless gift from any parent.

They may organise a restaurant meal or just a pizza and video game night in the house. Respect their choices, unless they become untenable. If they return any money to you, treat their friends to extra nibbles and drinks.

❤ Music Makes The People Come Together

Renting out a hall where your kid’s friends can run riot is a good idea…especially if they’re into loud music. Your teenager can invite school bands to come and perform, as well as hire a DJ to play their favourite music. Food and drink is pretty simple; you just need to bulk-buy soft drinks and nibbles.

However, if your kid has cultured tastes, you could buy them a ticket to a concert, performance, or a gig.

The Perfect Omega Watch for You

Internationally renowned as a maker of fine watches since 1848, Omega is a byword for innovation, style and quality. Every Omega watch has to pass strict quality controls before it can be offered to you proudly bearing the Omega name. Small wonder, then, that Omega watches have been worn by so many prominent people – Prince William of Wales, Joe Biden, Daniel Craig and Rory McIlroy to name but a few.

Omega watches are presented in four main ranges: Seamaster, Speedmaster, Constellation and De Ville. Every watch is superbly crafted and a pleasure to wear.

❤ The Seamaster range

Seamaster watches combine functionality with classic elegance. The popular Planet Ocean series reflects Omega’s dive watch heritage and remains a classic. It features a black chronograph dial in a stainless steel case with matching strap. The co-axial escapement movement is visible through the transparent case back. This watch also has a helium escape valve and is water resistant to an impressive 600metres.

The Ploprof model is one of the most unique pieces in the Seamaster range. Its simple black dial and precision self-winding co-axial escapement movement are housed in a 55 x 48mm stainless steel case with an anti-glare scratch resistant sapphire crystal window. Equipped with a helium release valve, power reserve of 60 hours and water resistant to 1200 metres, this is the perfect watch for the serious diver.

For a simpler look, Seamaster Aqua Terra watches, which have models for men and women, are ideal. Particularly elegant is the Aqua Terra Ladies Diamond Set Watch. This superb timepiece features a mother-of-pearl diamond dot dial with a diamond set bezel. A stainless steel case and matching bracelet complete the ensemble.

The Glamorous World of Designer Fashion in Singapore

They say that 'clothes make the man', well they make the woman as well. In today's highly fashion conscious world, the importance of a person's attire has increased a lot. It is not surprising if people judge your personality by the clothes or accessories you wear. This importance of appearance and attire is not limited to one country or culture but instead is a worldwide phenomenon. Fashion has long been associated with glamour and beauty in every country. This has given rise to many fashion houses like Prada to set up shop in different countries of the world including Singapore.

​Designer fashion in Singapore even when designed by international designers, keeps the local culture and sensibilities in mind. Singapore has grown and grown fast into an international business hub. It is also a great place for higher education especially favored by Asian students. This is the reason that the people and especially the youth of this country are acutely conscious of international trends in fashion. However, they do not blindly copy what the international fashion magazines publish, but like to exhibit their own individuality in the clothes that they wear. They like to make small style statements like advocating their choice of music by wearing a T shirt that they may have received at a music concert of their choice. At the same time fashion in Singapore is very practical and wearable as compared to some of the impractical designs we often see on European runways.

It is true that the design that works in the US will not work in an Asian country or even in Europe. This is the reason that international designer houses design different lines of clothes and accessories for different countries and cultures. Prada is one of the most renowned fashion houses that was established as a leather goods shop in Milan in the year 1913. The founders of the company were Mario Prada and his brother Martino. This single leather goods shop grew into the now huge designer house of fashion with a formidable reputation. They have a very tangible presence in Singapore which can rival any of the best designer brands in this country. They have a large number of state of the art retail outlets and their products are also available online.
