Workshop - Stone Carving With Paul Maggs

Spend a day learning the art of stone carving in the unique and inspiring setting of Rockaway Park. It is the perfect place for anyone who enjoys creativity, craft and a relaxed atmosphere. The workshop begins at 9.30am with a short introduction to the tools, materials and techniques you will be using. You can choose from a range of simple, intermediate or more detailed pre‑printed patterns, or design your own if you prefer. Once you have chosen your design, you will learn how to transfer it onto the stone and make your first carving cuts. Your tutor for the day is Paul Maggs, an experienced craft mason and long‑standing teacher of stone masonry. Paul has a calm and encouraging teaching style, and he is skilled at helping beginners feel confident with the tools. He will be on hand throughout the day to offer guidance, demonstrations and support whenever you need it. We keep the day relaxed, with a tea break around 11am and a lunch break between 1pm and 2pm. The workshop usually finishes at 4pm, or earlier if everyone completes their piece. All materials, tools and PPE are provided. By the end of the session you will head home with your own hand‑carved stone creation. TICKETS HERE

Roman Boxing Gym 1.3K likes 1.3K followers Roman Boxing Gym 1 month ago Haringey Boxcup 2026 It was Team Romans' first outing to Europe's largest Box Cup, which provided valuable experience for the team, and we hope to attend again next year after a very positive experience. DAY ONE Will Benke was up first, coming away with a UD win against a quality hard-hitting opponent coming off winning both the Manchester Box Cup and Capital Box Cup. Ryan Matthews was next on, beating an aggressive southpaw by UD behind an educated jab and slick movement. Daisy Allinson won by a 3:2 split decision after a good first round and close second and third against the Dutch national champion, getting valuable international experience and rising to the occasion. Max Barnes took on a strong opponent from Belvedere and, after a slow start, figured out his opponent and boxed excellently, putting on his best performance of the season. DAY TWO Daisy was up first, facing an opponent with over 100 bouts from Norway. It was a close contest, ending with Daisy losing out on a 4-1 split decision. Ryan Matthews lost to a familiar opponent and top lad after having a good first round but getting caught in the second and being unable to fully recover. Despite the result, Ryan showed massive improvements from the last time he faced this opponent in the NABGCs in November.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Are women allowed to train? A: Absolutely! All training sessions are mixed, and members have full access to the first class changing and showering facilities at the Sports Centre. Q: I don’t want to box competitively, can I still train with you? A: We run a beginners and fitness classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for those who don’t want to or are unable to compete. These are run by our England Boxing coaches using the same techniques and equipment our boxers use, in a safe non-contact environment with no upper age restrictions. Q: Is boxing safe? A: Olympic-style boxing ranks as the safest amongst all contact sports such as football and rugby, and is as safe as any combat sport such as judo and taekwondo. Training is fully supervised at all times by qualified coaches. Boxers need to demonstrate sufficient skill and understanding before being allowed to spar, which is again fully supervised and carefully controlled. Boxers must wear a mouth guard, groin protector and head guard when sparring. For more information on safety in boxing see this British Journal of Sports Medicine article . Q: Is there a maximum age? A: The maximum age to compete as an amateur boxer is 40. Realistically due to the time needed to develop as a boxer it is unlikely anyone over the age of 36 would be able to get the most out of joining the club.
