College of West Anglia Boccia team qualifies for National Championships for the second year running
Students from the Foundation department at the College of West Anglia (CWA) King’s Lynn campus have secured their place at the National Boccia Championships for the second year running after winning the Eastern regional competition.
The team will now go on to represent the East of England at the national finals, which will take place in April at the University of Nottingham, where they will compete against teams from colleges across the country.
The regional competition saw CWA face two teams from Cambridge Regional College, with CWA’s second team emerging victorious after winning all three of their fixtures. The team also overcame last year’s champions, CWA’s first team, during the competition.
In their opening match, the team secured a comfortable victory against Cambridge.
In the second match, they once again defeated Cambridge, who had earlier beaten the CWA first team. This meant that the final fixture saw the two CWA teams face each other to determine who would represent the East in the national finals.
After a closely contested match played in great spirits, CWA’s second team secured a 6-3 victory, earning their place in the national championships.
The team representing the College at the finals will be Connor Fiddy, Ryan Lowry, Haydyn Mowry and Tom Hughes.
The competition was played in excellent spirit throughout, with strong teamwork and sportsmanship on display from all participating teams.
Darren Gray, Sports Lecturer at the College of West Anglia, said, “I’m really pleased with the hard work and enthusiasm that the team demonstrated in the competition. They played incredibly well, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they get on at the National Championships this year!”
The team is seeking local sponsorship to provide team tops and hoodies for players as they prepare for national competition. For more information, please contact, [email protected].
Unearthing history: RWE invites communities to experience Vanguard’s archaeological treasures
Residents across Norfolk are invited to discover thousands of years of local history at two free public information events, hosted by RWE’s Vanguard projects at Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse this March.
The events take place on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 March in the marquee at Gressenhall, open from 10:00 to 16:00 each day. Visitors will be able to explore the findings from a wide-ranging programme of archaeological investigations carried out along the onshore cable route for the Vanguard West, East and Boreas offshore wind farm projects.
“We are very excited to be able to share these discoveries with the local community,” said Jon Darling, RWE project director for Vanguard West and East. “The archaeological campaign has revealed a remarkable story about how this landscape has changed over time, from prehistoric activity through to a Roman villa estate and beyond.”
He added: “Careful archaeological work sits alongside responsible infrastructure development, helping to protect and record Norfolk’s heritage while supporting the transition to renewable energy. Events like this allow us to connect the story of the past with the future being built here today.”
Stretching for around 60 kilometres across Norfolk, from landfall at Happisburgh to the onshore substation location at Necton, the investigations have revealed evidence of activity from early prehistory through to the Roman and medieval periods, helping to build a clearer picture of how the landscape has been used over time.
Project archaeologists from Headland Archaeology will be present throughout both days to discuss the work, with artefacts recovered during the investigations on display alongside information boards explaining how the staged programme of research, surveys and excavations has been carried out.
One of the most significant discoveries from the campaign – a Roman villa estate including a bathhouse – will also feature prominently at the event. The discovery provides new insight into life in the region nearly 2,000 years ago and forms a key part of the information being shared with local communities.
Families are warmly encouraged to attend. A dedicated activity area will include artefact handling opportunities and the chance to try RWE’s new augmented reality experience, Roman Villa: A Day in the Life. Designed using evidence gathered during the archaeological works, the app allows visitors to explore a digital reconstruction of the villa and learn more about daily life in Roman Norfolk.
Entry to the event is free. Visitors attending can also visit Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse at half-price admission on the day.
The archaeological programme reflects the care taken to understand Norfolk’s historic landscape before construction begins. At Gressenhall, visitors will be able to see the results up close and talk to the project team and the archaeologists who carried out the work.

College of West Anglia celebrates excellence at 41st Kevin Clarke Award
Dedication, resilience, and exceptional progress were celebrated at the College of West Anglia (CWA), as the 41st Kevin Clarke Memorial Award was presented during a special evening honouring achievement in electrical installation.
The Kevin Clarke Memorial Awards recognises two electrical apprentices each year who have demonstrated outstanding personal development and commitment throughout the academic year. The award was presented by John Clarke in memory of his son Kevin Clarke, a former CWA electrical apprentice.
This year’s recipients were apprentice Dominic McGrath from AM Blatch and apprentice Jordan Little from Pro-Tech Solutions, who were formally recognised in front of family, staff, their employers and invited guests.
Both Dominic and Jordan were gifted with toolkit bags, kindly donated by Edmundson Electrical LTD.
Dominic said, “It was a great honour to not only be nominated but also to win this award. It has been an incredible experience to hear Kevin’s story and how his memory continues in his honour.”
Jordan added, “I’m so honoured to win this award, that’s what tonight is all about, trying my hardest and getting congratulated and recognised.”
The evening celebrated not only technical skill, but also the determination and work ethic required to succeed in the electrical industry.
John Clarke, founder and Trustee of the Kevin Clarke Memorial Trust, said; “The evening has gone incredibly well, and it’s been a pleasure to meet Dominic and Jordan who have won the award. As well as presenting the new shields to the College.”
CEO and Principal of College of West Anglia, David Pomfret, said,
“The forty first presentation of the Kevin Clarke Award is a proud and significant moment for the College. This award represents far more than technical ability; it recognises resilience, commitment and personal growth. We are extremely grateful for our continued association with the Clarke family, whose dedication keeps Kevin’s legacy alive. We as a College are privileged to celebrate with them, the apprentices who are building strong, successful futures within the electrical industry.”
The event was a fitting tribute to the values of hard work, perseverance, and professional excellence that the Kevin Clarke Memorial Awards continues to present.
First Jobs, Career Advice and Lessons Learned from Local Business Professionals
Rick Notley from Uptech spoke with exhibitors and professionals at the Future Careers Expo to capture their advice for young people considering their future careers.
In a series of short interviews, business leaders share their first jobs, the advice they would give their 16 year old selves and guidance for students unsure about their career path.
Watch the video on YouTube or LinkedIn.
We asked:
What was your first ever job?
What advice would you give your 16-year-old self?
And what would you say to someone who doesn’t know what career path they want yet?
The answers are interesting, honest and in some cases pretty funny. It’s a good reminder that most careers don’t start where you expect.
A big thank you to everyone who took a minute to jump in front of the camera and share their thoughts. I’ll tag the people and businesses involved below so you can check them out.
If you know someone under 18 who’s thinking about what they might want to do in the future, or even someone who just wants to see the variety of jobs and paths out there, it’s well worth a watch.
And if you’re an employer, feel free to share it too. The more young people who see the range of opportunities out there, the better.
Curious to hear what everyone’s first job was as well… drop it in the comments 👇
