EditorialDear members and friends of the ABS, "hold it" .. as this month´s calendar picture clearly indicates. Indeed, there´s no more need for ongoing discussions about BREXIT, as the answer seems crystal clear (*): The United Kingdom is leaving the EU as per 29 March 2019. And we hear that "..a No Deal crash is highly unlikely, because the EU, the British Parliament, and a majority in the government are against it."
(*) at time of writing this editorial. Half-live not known. Yours, scratching my head with helplessness, Fred Fruth, Secretary General and Editor-in-Chief

English for Kids aged 3 - 12 !
Nigel Stonham, ABS member, tells us of a newly launched initiative called "RecreationRedefined", i.e. a sports based education for kids in English, which he is involved in, too. Based at the Amerling Gymnasium, 1060 Vienna, it concentrates on weekly recreational sporting activities and dance classes etc. in English for kids aged three to twelve years. This is how they describe it themselves: "Recreation Redefined is creating an action-based play approach towards exercise and learning for kids. Our focus is for kids to enjoy participating in sport, and we have designed a range of highly motivating training programs that will blow the kids away. Our program is designed for youth at recreational centers, schools, & kindergartens also for after-school recreational activities with multiple benefits for children and youth of all ages."
