Normal service is resumed. With the start of the new school year, our regular Saturday projects have recommenced, Street Safe Self Defence, NeuroNetwork  and StarmakerZ. And what a busy day it was, non-stop from 10 am until 2 pm. In addition to the usual musical instruments, DJ coaching is now offered, courtesy of birthday boy […]

Yesterday Roseberry Community Consortium had a stall at the Eid Fusion Festival in Ropner Park. It is a multi-cultural event, held annually, bringing together a variety of music, food and entertainment. The weather was perfect, once a few early rain showers had cleared and our stall generated a lot of interest, especially when Serenity began […]

Our Neuro Network activity this Saturday was making our own pizzas. Using a baguette base, our young chefs mixed up a garlic and herb tomato topping for the bread, to which they added cheese and toppings of their own choosing. After ten minutes in the oven, they were ready. It goes without saying, the cooks […]

Last Saturday’s Neuro Network activity, organised by Pritthijit, was a session making sock puppets. Using cardboard, felt, stick on eyes and of course, socks, puppets were constructed, following which some children decided to put on an improvised show. A very enjoyable session for all concerned.

For the third year running, Osbournes in Yarm have let StarmakerZ take over their beer garden and put on an afternoon of musical entertainment, showcasing the talent of our children and young people. This couldn’t happen without the hospitality of Jay and the team at Osbournes, who are unfailingly helpful in ensuring the afternoon is […]

Our new photo studio/rehearsal room/green screen room is now open and had its first use today, when StarmakerZ returned from the half term break. Joey was the first person to be green screened and wanted a war themed picture, so we obliged. On the music side we now have a drum kit, PA and instrument […]

Our first Saturday back after the half term and Prithijit organised a trip to Ninja Warrior at Teesside Park, which was a nightclub last time I set foot in the building. It is equally noisy nowadays, filled with children (and some adults) burning off as much energy as they can in the allotted hour. It […]

Our expansion into the next door building is progressing. All the major work has been done, bringing the building into compliance with the latest regulations. Today, with the help of a number of willing volunteers, we began making the place habitable; cleaning up the mess and setting up equipment ready for the grand opening which […]

As a special half term treat Pritthijit organised a trip to Coulby Newham Leisure Farm in Middlesbrough. We enjoyed seeing the variety of animals in the farm, everything from sheep and goats to wallabies and alpacas. The play areas were also very popular with our children and we managed to fit everything in with perfect […]

For the third year running StarmakerZ (the music tuition branch of Roseberry Community Consortium) has taken over the beer garden of Osbournes in Yarm to host a show, featuring the choir and many of our StarmakerZ musicians. Confidence was high and everyone played and sang to a high standard. Even a brief, mid-song power cut […]
