We realise it can be difficult for a goalkeeper to be spotted, and we wanted to give our goalkeepers more opportunities. We have since opened it to all goalkeepers and built great relationships with professional clubs. Since the inception of our trial days two years ago, we've been instrumental in turning the dreams of numerous goalkeepers into reality. Three goalkeepers have been signed by Brighton, two each by Hull City and Reading, and one each by Portsmouth, Barnsley, Bristol City and Oxford United after being spotted at our trial days. The most recent one, Nottingham Forest signed Charlie in October after getting spotted on our trial day. Three of these goalkeepers, like Zach, have been called up to the England setup since signing. One keeper secured a scholarship at Colchester United, and Chelsea Ladies signed a girl after being identified at our trial days. These success stories are a testament to the opportunities we provide, even for those who might have thought their chance had gone. All your child might need this opportunity, and they’ll have a great time doing it! On the trial day, your child can showcase their talent and have lots of fun doing it. Plus, experience playing at some fantastic facilities. What have you got to lose? Sells Pro Training will provide a link between the professional and grassroots game, creating opportunities for students to meet and train with top professional keepers. We will be the first steps in developing the goalkeepers of the future with the aim of creating pathways for other students into coaching, scholarships or a high level of football. Via our close links to the professional game, our goalkeepers will be given a chance to be seen by top clubs. • Professional facilities • Proven results • Professional coaching • Direct contact with professional football clubs • Showcase sessions designed to help you shine • Friendly approach to the day • Feedback to help you develop Premier League Academy Goalkeeping Coach“Having attended Sells residential camps and sessions, I have been very impressed with the level of quality coaching the young goalkeepers receive, as well as the environment which supports learning and enjoyment.“The content of the sessions not only challenges the goalkeepers but also replicates the demands of the modern game.“The attention to detail on all aspects of the camp was tremendous.“The care and support provided for each young goalkeepers, on both a personal and goalkeeping level were second to none.” Under 23 Championship Goalkeeper Coach“Kids smiling and having fun is always the first thing I think of after attending Matt and his team’s events.“The facilities sourced are top class, and the content and learning that goes on is my opinion is excellent.“The environment they create together, with the care and effort they all put into each child is admirable, and I always look forward to attending their events.” Championship Academy Goalkeeping Coach“I just wanted to say a big thank you for having me last night.“It was great to see so many goalkeepers and chat to all the staff, and it looked a fantastic operation.“To see so many goalkeepers flying around as they were shows what a great job you guys are doing!” Information Source: Sells Pro Training | eventbrite

We're delighted to be welcoming Sam Mills back to the shop to hear her discuss her non-fiction book, UNEVEN: Nine Lives That Redefined Bisexuality. Sam will be in conversation with Stu Hennigan, author of Ghost Signs. Doors: 6.30pm, starts: 6.45pm Tickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book. About the book: UNEVEN tells the stories of nine pioneering bisexual artists, writers and musicians that will change our understanding of the world's largest sexual minority. Bisexuality is often seen as something temporary, in spite of increasing openness around it: a sign of immaturity or a waystation on the road to a different sexuality altogether, rather than its own distinct entity. In this beautifully written cultural history, Sam Mills reclaims bisexuality as its own identity, interweaving her experience of being bisexual with illuminating portraits of a clutch of artists, writers and musicians, including Colette, Bessie Smith, Marlene Dietrich, Anaïs Nin, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Madonna. Celebrating the resilience, diversity and spirit of the bisexual community through the ages, Uneven explores how each of these trailblazing figures have been misunderstood; how social attitudes affected their sexuality, their relationships and their work; how LGBTQ+ identities have been portrayed from the Victorian era to the present day; and how attitudes have progressed. Illuminating, personal and entertaining, Uneven paints a nuanced portrait of a sidelined community. About the author: SAM MILLS is the author of The Quiddity of Will Self and The Watermark, along with three young adult novels, including the award-winning Blackout. Her memoir about being a carer, The Fragments of My Father, was published in 2020. Sam has written for a number of publications, including the Guardian, Independent, 3 AM and London Magazine. Tickets are £4.00. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book. If you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of the book, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call us on 0161 274 3331. Our event format is usually a 45 minute discussion between the author and interviewer, followed by a chance for audience members to ask questions. There will be the opportunity to get your book signed/dedicated after the event. Events are a brilliant opportunity to discover new books, meet authors and likeminded readers and learn something new. Support your local bookshop and help us keep the Manchester literary scene vibrant and exciting. You can follow us on Eventbrite and social media (@BlackwellsMCR) to keep up to date on upcoming events. Information Source: Blackwell's Manchester | eventbrite

Book at Lunchtime is delighted to welcome Professor Adam Smyth (English) to discuss his acclaimed work The Book Makers. The wonderful review in the Financial Times last year provides a taste of how captivating this discussion will be. This is a triumphant and seductive story; it is also one to which Adam Smyth’s absorbing The Book-Makers presents an alternative. The flipside, he writes, “is the world of jobbing printing: the production of cheap, everyday, usually ephemeral texts, the torrent of nonbook print that has circulated in the world since the 1450s”. The pink paper (or pink-tinged screen) on which you’re reading this now is a living part of that story: a testament to the way in which books have only ever formed a tiny part of the crowded landscape that is print culture. With this reframed understanding of progress in mind, Book-Makers explores the lives of a handful of men and women who each contributed something distinctive to the history of the book. The story they collectively tell is not one of continuous technological improvement but rather a cyclical drama of making and remaking of the idea of the book itself. Join Professor Smyth and an expert panel to discuss The Book Makers at Book at Lunchtime on Wednesday 5 February. 12.30pm lunch. 1pm-2pm discussion. Information Source: TORCH | eventbrite

Calling everyone interested in creativity; artists, academics, creatives, teachers, community leaders, students and curious minds The world is facing some big challenges—from climate change to conflicts and declining trust in leadership and the democratic systems that put them there. How can creativity help us rise to these challenges? And what role can cities, universities, and artists play in shaping a better future? Come along to a relaxed and collaborative afternoon where your voice matters. Together, we’ll explore how storytelling, performance, music, writing, and the arts can help strengthen our communities and reimagine what democracy could look like. Bring your own questions, and let’s find fresh perspectives together. Why this matters?This conversation is inspired by a question being explored this year by one of our Visiting Fellows, theatre maker and arts leader Erica Whyman: Should we take the radical curiosity of artists more seriously? And if so, how can universities and cities help creativity thrive?Read Erica’s personal invitation to you The city of Oxford—with its diversity, global reach, and the very real hardship in many of its communities—is the perfect place to think about these questions. But the conversation is not about answers from one person—it’s about all of us. Whether you’re an artist, teacher, researcher, student, community leader, or just curious, your perspective is welcome. Taking place over an afternoon, the session is designed to be informal, interactive, and engaging, giving everyone the chance to contribute. What to ExpectA warm welcome – We will begin with an introduction to the central question and time to reflect and connect with others.Shape the conversation– Propose topics or questions you’d like to explore – big ideas, personal experiences, or practical suggestions – these will help shape the agenda.Join in at your own pace – Whether you want to actively contribute, or simply listen, there’s no wrong way to take part.Creative collaboration – We’ll use theatre-inspired techniques to create a space for fresh ideas and meaningful conversation.By the end, you’ll leave with new perspectives and connections to inspire action and creativity.
