today we want to tell you how the Claremont community has come together to try and help a local barrista.  His name is Jack Umba and if you live in the area, you may well have sampled his delicious coffee at a little spot called Jack’s Place - Coffee Jess, on Imam Haron Rd.   You may also have seen him zipping around the streets on his bicycle, as he delivers coffee and pancake orders to his loyal customers in the neighbourhood.

Ant Middleton is a former soldier who gained fame on the British reality TV show SAS-Who Dares Wins – a show in which he trained contestants to take on the toughest environments, similar to a British special forces selection course.  

He also took on the world’s highest mountain for the TV show Extreme Everest with Ant Middleton, nearly losing his life when he was caught in a blizzard high up on the mountain slopes.  He is the very definition of the words “tough” and “gritty”.

But more recently, he’s moved away from the physical challenge into a more cerebral one, turning his hand to writing fiction. The result is a book called Cold Justice.

Time for our Christmas gifting guide, and today we’re looking at ideas for the reader in the family.  There are new releases out from many old favourites including Lee Child, Marion Keyes, Jodi Picoult, John Grisham, Diana Gabaldon, Michael Connelly, and even a new Ken Follett.  I bet Damon Galgut’s Booker-winning The Promise is going to be under many a tree this year.  And don’t forget the new Deon Meyer The Dark Flood which is an absolutely fabulous read and the perfect thing to escape into while you enjoy some time off.  I recently finished the new Richard Osman called The Man Who Died Twice and can highly recommend it for a fun and intriguing murder mystery.

Ryan Margolis was already 12 when during a family holiday in Spain, on a whim he got behind the wheel of a kart for the first time and took a spin around the track.  When he crossed the finish line, he found jaws on the floor, because he had just broken the track record- a 12-year-old with no racing experience!

Fast forward to 2021 and he’s been picked up for the Young Racing Driver’s Academy which grooms competitors for a future career in the sport.
