Sports Sponsorship
Hi neighbours, we are looking to sponsor a few sporting teams/clubs here in the Shore.
We are keen to get our name out there locally by helping build working relationships with those in the area and we would be stoked if anyone of you would be interested in working with us.
This would mean that perhaps we attend one of your sporting events to promote our centre, offering free trial sessions to your members and we would in turn promote your sports club/team and sponsor equipment or perhaps uniforms etc.
Let us know what you think and if you would be keen to get involved with SCRATCHPAD Northcote! Please PM me.
Thank you.

Christmas Carols- A brief history
Hello,
As we head into Christmas and the long holidays, the unmistakable carol music of Christmas will be heard. From shopping malls to radio stations to homes where tree decorating missions are underway not to mention seeds of an argument that reaches it zenith on Christmas Day!
But where did it all originate ( not the argument!), the carols?
Here at the Flea FM, each week we will post a few short snippets* we have curated so that you can appreciate when you hear a carol, a little history about the simple Christmas carol. Enjoy.
* attributes provided at last post.
In medieval times, the word ‘carol’ referred to a round dance with musical accompaniment (‘carole’ in French). It later developed into a song form of verses and a refrain. Not all the original texts had Christmassy words but many were associated with Mary, Advent and Christmas. The term has since come to be applied to all Christmas songs, whether or not in carol form.
Christmas Carols were introduced to formal church services by St. Francis of Assisi.
‘One of the oldest printed English Christmas carols is the Boar's Head Carol, sung as the traditional dish is carried in on Christmas Day at Queen's College, Oxford; it was printed in 1521.’ (Oxford Dictionary of Music)
