A picnic – Saturday 31 July

Kim Knowles — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 23:11:55 +0000

We’re having a picnic and we’d like you and your family to come and enjoy the fun!

Saturday 31 July
4pm
Pompocali

Pompocali is an ace place for a picnic consisting of delightful grassy mounds with a stream nearby, and whilst it sounds like it’s in foreign parts it’s actually just on our doorstep – near Scarcroft…

Please contact Kim if you’re interested and to obtain further details.

Monday Morning Meander – Monday 14 June

Kim Knowles — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 19:40:21 +0000

This time – a less strenuous walk – around Fairburn Ings Nature Reserve.

The intention is to walk to Fairburn village and back taking approx 2 hours. There are reasonable footpaths which are suitable for buggies. As picnic tables are placed outside Fairburn Ings visitors centre it would seem surly not to use them at the end of the walk, perhaps partake of the ice creams/hot drinks that can be purchased and definitely make use of the toilets provided!

We’d be delighted if you and your friends were able to enjoy this with us.

Please contact Gwen if you’re interested and to obtain further details.

A profusion of plants!

The Parochial Hall looked ace full of an amazing array of plants whilst ladies and gentlemen, old and young, a dog and gnomes (!) enjoyed the pleasures of swapping plants, good company and delicious scones with jam and cream.

A beautiful meander…

Not so sunny but great fun!

Kim Knowles — Fri, 07 May 2010 21:00:06 +0000

Sunny scarborough wasn’t quite as sunny as we had hoped for but that didn’t spoil the fun! Plenty of time to talk, games that had us in stitches, thought-provoking teaching, the chance to blow away the cobwebs and perhaps a small amount of jealousy when the kids went off to the Sea Life Centre.

…post weekend comment… “when’s the next one, please?!”

…well actually, it’s booked for 27 – 29 May 2011… …be there or despair!

Ace weekend!

Kim Knowles — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 22:48:08 +0000

Richmond Camping Barn was the chosen venue for the ‘No Adults Allowed’ weekend of fun! A very wet walk, storming the castle, fish and chip tea, hunt the sheep, “Are we really sleeping in a cow shed?”, bananas as microphones (!) all played their part. ”Who is this guy?”, “Yikes they’ve killed him”, “Urrh, maybe not…” and “Where is he now?” stimulated lively discussions as the christian faith was explored with vigour!

…post weekend comment… “when’s the next one, please?!”.

‘No Adults Allowed’ enjoyed the potter!

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 12:33:00 +0000

Following the usual noisy game and lunch together the pre-teens of ‘No Adults Allowed’ gathered round the pottery wheel to witness Vinny work his magic on a lump of clay – cheese wire, natural sponges, a nail stuck in a cork and plenty of water were used as a master-piece was created. The production of the second pot had them mesmerised as Vinny used the process to illustrate how humans are off-center with their lives and distant from God unable to live as intended, yet how a loving God has given us a way to put our lives back on center and become something beautiful for God. A couple of the pre-teens had the opportunity to create their own pots – I have never seen them concentrate to that degree before! Thanks to Vinny for being a part NAA, it was hugely enjoyed by all.

Vinny returns to Leeds on Thursday 11 March to give the aduts a taste of something similar – please join us in the deli, Roundhay Road, for 7.30pm.
