If the stage beckons, its easy to get in the spotlight by joining one of the amateur dramatics organisations like the South Woodham Junior Players, Phoenix Childrens Musical Theatre Group (Tel: 01245 320068), or the Wannabees.

Musical talent can be encouraged by membership of the Junior choir or dance schools.

The uniformed organisations still do an excellent job in the shape of the Girl Guides, Boy Scouts,  Brownies and Girls and Boys Brigade (Evangelical Church),
