A big thank you to the hundreds of dads and families who came along to the DLI Dads Fun Day on Saturday despite the snow and rain! A great time was had by all.

Family men and their children joined in with Paintballing, football, meeting soldiers from the past, making solider puppets, getting camouflaged and much more!

The fun day was part of a longer programme of events and activities for men and their children at the museum. The next one is 'Cadet Capers' and takes place on the 12th March. Bookings can be made through the museum on 01941

I'm thrilled about being asked to chair this exciting conference on behalf of Fathers Plus.

The theme is 'Families for the Future'

It's on Friday 28 January 2011; 9.30am to 3.45pm

At Hartlepool Maritime Experience, Jackson Dock, Maritime Avenue, Hartlepool TS24 0XZ

It is an interactive event to share good practice and generate ideas for future work with families most in need

Want to know more about camouflage and concealment, think you can build a bridge or dig a trench, want a go in a Challenger tank, want to meet a real live Roman soldier or just want somewhere fun to hang out and share a bacon butty with other dads and children?

It’s been a busy month for me and the trainers at Fathers Plus. We’ve been working in Newcastle, Northumberland, Sunderland, Lancaster, Leeds, Nottingham and Carlisle.

Here’s what some of the people on our courses said about them:

“I thought the day was fun, informative, helpful and relevant and the instructors were great!”

“Excellent content and very well presented.”

“Lots of really practical ideas.”

“Training was excellent, very warm and inviting, informative and productive.”

The Family Man schools project is going really well and I’m delighted how it has been embraced by local dads and male carers especially in Sunderland.

Each session we usually have about 15 dads book to come along and enjoy a fun day in school, but to Diamond Hall infant’s School in Sunderland’s surprise, they had 90 men sign up for their session!
