Comments Welcome

Is it me, or does Half Term seem like it was never there? For me the week was jam packed full of activities. Unfortunately it didn't start too well, with the Valentines day meal being cancelled with very few wishing to attend, which worked well for me as the Tom Bridge Experience was able to practice their set for a bit longer, (the drummer needed it!)

On into the week we had 3 afternoons of activities, sadly due to the weather we were unable to go outside, but great fun was had in the Miller Room. Surprisingly a parachute fits in the Miller Room. The Open Mic Night saw a record breaking number of entries, with the standard as high as ever, special mention has to go to our opening act, who stole the whole show with 4 songs, including a self penned soon to be classic song, that broke into Robbie Williams 'Let me entertain you.' The week ended with a film night watching Batman Begins.

K-OS, the Wednesday night youth club continues to grow, both in number and activities, last week we cooked over 20 pancakes and the next two weeks we are celebrating St. David's day and St. Patrick's day.

The Pathfinders group that meet on a Sunday Morning in church are currently looking at what it means to follow Jesus, the good, the bad and the ugly!!

With great excitement I can announce that we are going to be holding a beatbox workshop on the 28th March in the Miller Room at 3:30pm, the workshop is going to be led by Gavin Tyte, he can be found at humanbeatbox.com.

Please feel free to leave comments, (nice ones are good) or any ideas you might have could spark other's imagination.

See you at the next event. Jon

It's Snow Time

One of the bad things about living where you work is that you can't make the excuse of not getting to work because of the snow, but my walk to work along the canal is fantastic, I've added a couple of my best ones, and besides working with the young people of Bathampton, well who wouldn't want to come to work!!!

Although it looks like the snow is over, the show continues, we have a full programme of events over the half term week, starting with a Dinner and Dance on Saturday 14th February, our Open Mic Night and a few afternoon games and activities, email me for more details.

In the near future we have a beatbox workshop and a CY taster, and lots more to follow. hope you enjoy the photo's. - Jon






The first two are a few weeks old, back when the canal froze over.







Thought I'd add this in for your amusement!!
