3v0 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'm assuming there is some sort of back story to this? As: Parents of pupils at Onchan Primary School are being told there are no plans to change the uniform there. Isn't exactly the most enthralling news story I've heard all day...

Ushtey Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Not quite what the school said when they invited entries for a new school logo design. No changes to uniforms this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ushtey Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 dont think anyone is disputing that, dont know how this made the press though... is it stowell trying to increase his profile?? In his defence (and that should surprise a few people who've experienced Brian and I "discussing our opposing points of view"), MR probably picked it up from the minutes of the Commissioner's meeting and approached him as Chairman. There have been some letters of complaint written by parents at the school, enough for the school to release a letter to all parents explaining the situation. I guess someone thought that a school changing it's logo and requiring parents to replace the school uniforms of their kids in the middle of an economic crisis was a story. I agree, not much of one for most people outside of Onchan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skig Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Expect to hear a lot more over the coming year from Mr Stowell. Now that he is chairman of ODC he will be spouting off at every opportunity. He was on manx radio this morning bemoaning the lack of café facilities at Onchan park. He is Onchans equivalent of the “leader” of Douglas council. They both like to hear the sound of their own voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope his actions speak louder than he talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
