Children’s clubs seek assistants

DUNDEE City Council is looking for children’s club assistants for a variety of after-school groups.

The council provides term-time after-school and evening groups as well as holiday programmes for five to 11-year-olds in the city’s community centres and projects.

The local authority is seeking volunteers to help it to continue to deliver the children’s clubs, which provide children with opportunities to participate in a range of learning and fun activities.

Volunteers will provide support to the children’s workers.

They will be well supported and will also have the chance to develop ideas with the children.

Children’s clubs are held in eight locations in Dundee including the Ardler Complex, The Crescent, Charleston Community Centre, Douglas Community Centre and the MAXwell Centre, one of the council’s partner organisations in the Hilltown.

Drew Galloway jetted into Dundee from Florida to reveal that 5 Star Wrestling’s show at Dundee Ice Arena on Saturday January 28 will be shown live on TV.

The show will go out live on Spike, which is owned by Channel 5, between 8pm and 10pm.

Former WWE grappler Galloway, from Ayr, also revealed how Kurt Angle — the former WWE champion and 1996 Olympic gold medallist — will be providing commentary on the night.

It’s hoped that the event could spark new interest in wrestling, following the success of World of Sport’s Wrestling’s long-awaited return to British TV.

5 Star — which operates out of Balgay House — is in line to host further events in Dundee later this year.

Galloway, 31, arguably the busiest wrestler in the world — holding championships for promotions on both sides of the Atlantic — is among the star names set to appear.

And the 6ft 5in warrior reckons wrestling in his home country could soon be as big as the American boom in the 1990s.

Speaking to the Tele, Galloway said: “It’s not just the Scottish scene — it’s the UK scene as a whole.

“Not only is it going to be one of the biggest shows ever in this country with a who’s who of wrestling and Kurt Angle on commentary, but it’s going to be broadcast live on Spike TV at primetime.

“We have an opportunity to be like America in the 90s with WWE and WCW — with all these companies

A WRESTLING superstar says an event in Dundee later this month will be one of the “biggest ever” to take place in the UK.
