Now in a nationwide educational partnership, consisting of the UK Memory Sports Council,
Inspire Education, and national government initiative Aimhigher is wrapping these all-important right/left brain elements into powerful memory training and exercises which, with practice, can become the intellectual platform for recalling almost anything, instantly. They are passing on these techniques to teachers and pupils at secondary schools throughout the UK – by means of the UK Schools Memory Championships
This time last year, Hannah Ward (then 14) of Roade School Sports College, Northampton was crowned the first UK Schools Memory Champion. This year, approaching 1,700 pupils at over 60 schools from England, Scotland and Wales have been battling it out for one of the 100 places at the Championships, to be held in Northampton on Tuesday 7th July.
Over the past twelve months, eight times World Memory Champion
Dominic O'Brien, who devised the original concept of the UK Schools Memory Championship, has been spearheading training sessions in Memory techniques for school and college groups of up to 30 students and staff. Each student is given a Memory Training manual, specially written by Dominic, and every school receives a Brain Club resource pack, to aid students in setting up a club to promote memory development and brain training. After the visit, in-school competitions identify the most talented participants, with the top 100 invited to the National Final on 7th July 2009
