Do we want to go fast - or do we want to go far?
The Christian
faith calls us to
travel together
AT an event I attended a few days ago one of the speakers quoted an old African proverb. “If you want to go fast
go alone, if you want to go far go together”. It wasn’t a
church event and the speaker wasn’t talking about faith
issues, but it occurred to me that what he was saying
relates well to the present journey of the Barnsley
Methodist Circuit.
Earlier this year our Circuit Meeting agreed that we
should move towards a more shared approach to our ministry, with ministers working closely together and our
church congregations working together in mission and
ministry. Although we are in the very early days of our
year of transition there have already been some very positive signs of how we might be changed and even more
effective in what we do as church if we work together.
In my previous appointment I was privileged to serve in
an ecumenical church with a single congregation. In the
early days this church was trailblazing ways in which
denominations can work together to be the church in a
community. We were a congregation of Anglicans,
Baptists, United Reformed and Methodists – a single congregation initially, with a team of ministers, and then
since 2002 with a single minister.
A great deal of energy was generated and absorbed in
working out the detail of how we related denominationally and most of us realised that the easier part of what we
did was the worship.
However, one of our most significant discoveries was
that by being a single ecumenical congregation and representing the four major denominations in the town we didn’t engage with other congregations. The challenges and
opportunities of working together in the local community
were not part of our normal pattern of life.
We decided to be more pro-active in working with other
congregations, placing our energy into working together,
and over time we began to see change in ourselves and
more opportunities for engaging as Christians in the
wider community.
Today that single ecumenical congregation continues to
be the church in the town centre but now has a wider ministry alongside other Christians because of a conscious
decision to work together with other churches.
From the outset of his ministry Jesus called people to
work with him in his mission. Initially it was the group
often referred to as the apostles, but we know that, in fact,
the group was much larger than that, and those left behind
after Jesus returned to glory gathered together for worship, fellowship and prayer, discerning at each step the
call of God in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus sent the disciples out in pairs to visit towns and
villages with his message and slowly the message spread
through people like Paul, Barnabas and others, who travelled long distances to make sure the Good News of Jesus
was heard.
What we read in the new testament is that they travelled
together and new followers of Jesus were encouraged to
become part of the church by sharing fellowship with
other Christians.
The calling of the Christian faith is not to journey alone;
it is to travel with others to fulfil the calling of God - and
it is this that we are seeking to do in the life of our Circuit.
As Christians don’t travel alone, neither should the individual churches (that is one of the reasons we are grouped
as a Circuit) and our plan for the future is that we should
intentionally work together to share resources and fulfil
our calling in the Church and in the World.
We do this not because we want to get anywhere fast
but because we want to go far in serving Jesus who
revealed Gods love for all.
With best wishes - Mick

Heartfelt thanks
from Water Aid
(For the donations at the Circuit
Service at Jenny’s Field)
FOR people like Frehiwot, your kind donation of
£342.48 will change everything.
In the village of Ashalta in Ethiopia, children like
Frehiwot will soon have access to a new well, and
won’t have to choose between water and school.
Frehiwot and the people of Ashalta can look forward
to a new chapter in their lives, thanks to your congregation. Because of your gift of clean water they can
be healthy again, just as they are in the nearby village
of Habt Amrach where we successfully drilled a
borehole to bring life-saving water.
Azmera is a young girl in this village who no
longer has diarrhoea or water-related diseases. She
has time to go to school and hopes to be a doctor
when she’s older. With a reliable source of water, the
people in this village are full of hope, good health
and happiness.
This is the incredible change we can replicate in
villages like Frehiwot’s – and we will do, thanks to
your help. On behalf of all those who will benefit
from life-saving water because of your kindness –
thank you.
Best wishes,
Felicity de Ste Croix

prayer
Micah 6:8 (NIV)
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And
what does the Lord require of you? To act justly
and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your
God.
Lord God,
You have called us to be one people, bound together in genuine love and concern for one another, so
that others might see something of you in the fellowship we share, and through that recognise your
purpose for all.
Help us to recognise today and always what it
means to be members of your Church, and, by your
grace, help us to live up to that calling.
Help us in the year of transition to remain steadfast
in your love and faithful in all we do, so that we
bring glory to your name.
Though we are many, make us one.
Amen.

Christian refugees
left hungry, thirsty,
trembling with fear
l
Today’s Syrian situation has a personal
significance for Rev David Markay
ONE hundred years ago this autumn, a young husband and father, Boghos Markarian, was among the
thousands of Armenian Christians who were rounded up by Turkish troops in his home city of Adana.
He and his brother Nazareth were separated from
their families and forced into Syria. Over the next
three years they would move between towns whose
names we hear in the news today: Aleppo, Zahle,
Damascus, Rayak.
Along the road the brothers saw the bodies of
Armenian women from their home city. Boghos
wrote: “I was deeply moved and unable to continue
my way.”
Later the two brothers were crammed into trains:
“Much like chickens we were transported in train
cages.” At one crossroads they met up with other
refugees all “sleepless, tired... wanting to go to the
toilet ... hungry, thirsty ... trembling from their fear ...
I was scared too ... I had been a rich and respected
businessman ... now an Armenian deprived of all my
worldly wealth.”
Desperate to escape deportation to the dreaded
desert outpost of Deir Zor, the brothers kept one step
ahead of the Turkish officials. They were given shelter by a Christian Family, assisted by Kurds, and
helped by several compassionate Turkish officials.
Most likely there were times when money changed
hand to ensure safe passage.
One night they fled in the back of a buggy, covering themselves with rags. For several weeks they hid
in a small, window-less shack. Their days were filled
with confusion, monotony, fear, and crucial decisions to make with little time to deliberate. They
longed for their wives and their children.
Nearly a year later the men were reunited with
loved ones, including Boghos’ young son (my grandfather). The family - elderly parents and young children included - spent the next two years moving
around Syria. Their journey would take them back to
Adana, across the sea to Cyprus, on to France (where
my father was born), and eventually to New Jersey.
Somewhere in most of our family histories there is
hardship, tragedy, danger and migration. And deep in
our Christian heritage, well before the holy family
had to flee their own homeland, God reminded the
people:
“So, you too, must show love to foreigners, for you
yourselves were once foreigners in Egypt”
(Deuteronomy 10:19, New Living Translation).

Ellie Peet describes a fantastic but e
p
i
motional few days in Lithuania after talcum powder results in 10-hour flight delay
THE skies were blue and the sun shining as Kristin
and her friend Helen waved goodbye to England,
Debbie and I. We were left stranded at the gate
because security scanners identified my tin of talcum
powder as a liquid, and Deb’s face cream as ... face
cream! We followed on and landed ten hours, and
much coffee, later.
On the Thursday, after some sightseeing, we joined
the Lithuanians for their family session held in a suburb of Kaunas, where we were staying, and hosted by
their deacon, Helen. We joined them in Bible study
and a craft session, and ate a simple meal with them
before helping with the English class. Imagine learning English from an American and two Yorkshire
ladies?
Friday and Saturday we took part in the Methodist
women’s retreats with the focus on “knowing Christ
and making him known.” Two things struck me: the
lady pastor was told that she needed to hire a nanny
as she would be working on a Sunday and couldn’t
expect to take her children to church; and they didn’t
understand the concept of Mother and Toddlers or
coffee mornings. The church was a place to worship
on a Sunday and nothing else.
So we shared with them the stories of the small
groups running in our churches, and the benefits of
them to the community and members, alongside the
opportunities to share Christ and make Him known
at every opportunity.
We talked about how their individual churches
could become a part of the community and encouraged them to think about simply meeting together for
coffee, discussions and the sharing of life skills, particularly with young mums and families who were
beginning to be integrated into their worship times.
En route to one of these retreats we stopped at the
hill of crosses which was originally set up as a
protest to the Russians who continually bulldozed
and destroyed the crosses the Lithuanians erected,
but which has now become a place where people can
‘Knowing Christ
and making him
known at every
opportunity . . .’
go to plant a cross as a memorial to a deceased loved
one, some small and simple, others ornate and several metres high. It was an overwhelming and humbling experience.
Sunday we joined in a Methodist service, using
hymn books that Kristin helped to compile and translate, and with Kristin translating the prayers and
reading to us. Deb’s enabled us to sing the hymns in
English by getting them on her phone - but she wasn’t as successful with her interpretation of the
instructions for communion and had the wafer in her
mouth before she realised she should dip it in the
wine first. Rather than take it out of her mouth she
took the chalice from the bemused alter boy and took
a drink!
We’ve enjoyed the hospitality of the Lithuanian
people in their churches and in their homes; we’ve
eaten traditional dishes and shared worship with
them. It’s been a fantastic but emotional few days,
we’ve shared experiences with each other and our
new friends, especially Deacon Helen and her husband the District Superintendent, Bill, who are planning to come to see us next year.
We thank them for inviting us to join them and for
opening their hearts and homes to us, and we thank
Kristin for making it possible... even if she did leave
us stranded at the gate!

l
A busy year for
MWiB
- and a grand one
too!
WELL, it has been a busy year for the MWiB, with
a film show, coffee afternoon, rally and meetings, not
to mention the visits to District events.
Throughout the last connexional year, our donations and fund-raising enabled us to make donations
of £250 each to a local charity, The Starter Packs; a
District charity, Tostan, which helps fight against
female genital mutilation; the national MWiB funds;
and the international World Mission Fund. A big
thank you to all individuals and churches who contributed in any way.
Our next local event is the film show when we will
be showing “The Second Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel” at Wombwell on Wed 11 November at
2.00pm. The cost will be £2 per person (all are welcome) and will be followed by refreshments.
The next District event at Victoria Hall is the
Christmas coffee morning on 20 November from
10.00am to 12.30pm (this replaces the annual
Christmas fair). Barnsley circuit have been asked to
arrange a tombola stall, so if any of you have any
useful prizes, please let one of us know.
Every blessing

RENE Jeffels was born on 15 November 1915, the
youngest daughter of Agnes and Arthur Fisher, at 12
High Street, Grimethorpe, in the flat above her
fathers’s greengrocer’s shop. Her sisters were
Florence, Doris and Elsie, all of whom are now sadly
no longer with us.
She attended school in Grimethorpe and on leaving
at the age of 14 was employed in her father’s shop.
After her marriage she took a job as a cleaning lady
at the NCB’s No 4 (Carlton) Area offices in
Grimethorpe. Some years later she went to work in
Andrew’s business, being employed in the bakery.
Rene was married to Joseph Jeffels at the Bethany
Chapel in Grimethorpe in 1940 and was happily married until his sudden death in 1992. In 1945 she had
a daughter, Josephine and now has a lovely grandson, Adrian, and two great grandchildren, Sonny and
Heidi.
She was a member of the Bethany Chapel and worshipped there until its closure. She has now transferred her membership to St. John’s at Cudworth.
She was a member of the Bright Hour at
Grimethorpe for many years and took her turn at running the coffee mornings on a Saturday. She was
always known as ‘The Teapot Lady’.
Rene still lives by herself and enjoys the television
and reading. She also used to enjoy holidaying with
her family until a couple of years ago. She also
attends the Park Social Club in Grimethorpe a couple
of days per week and still enjoys a game of bingo.
She likes to go to the coffee morning at Cudworth
Church and regularly attends Sunday morning services. She has many friends who take care of her.
The things kids say . . .
A schoolmaster, who was trying to discover what his
class of boys knew of common objects, asked what it
was a horse was made to wear when it went about its
work. There was no reply and word ‘harness’ for
which he sought was not forthcoming.
So he said: “Is there any boy here whose father
attends to horses?”
“Yes sir,” said one small boy.
“Then tell the class, George, what it is that your
father puts on a horse every morning,” said the
schoolmaster.
“A fiver each way,” was the reply.
(As told by former schools’ inspector and author
Gervaise Phinn)
‘The Chapel is further enhanced as a place for worship in the community’
BEFORE
AFTER
Out with the old and in with
the new at Higham
THIS summer we have had further improvements
done to the interior of the Chapel at Higham. We
have had new oak panels fitted round the sides;
replaced the old pews with the ones from
Kexborough; new carpet fitted under the pews;
new carpets in the vestry through to the entrance
way and in the coffee lounge; and new flooring in
the toilets.
The chapel now looks beautiful and is further
enhanced as a place for worship in the community
here at Higham.
It was a huge task for us and many, many thanks
go to all members and friends who gave of their
time in the preparation and cleaning up afterwards.
Then we held a dedication service, faith tea, and
a presentation to Yemi, who dedicated a new cabinet obtained by way of a donation received from a
friend of the Church.
Members from Kexborough joined us at a joint
L/A at which the theme was ‘Tell Me The Stories
of Jesus’ in verse and in song. Friendships were
extended in the hall afterwards with tea and biscuits. Thanks must go to Bev Smith for the lovely
organ cover and red back cusions for the pews.
We are truly proud of our chapel sanctuary now
and we all thank Les Howarth for project managing the whole scheme.

A prayer for the day
‘DEAR Lord, thus far today you should be proud
of me.
I haven’t gossiped, lost my temper, spoken in
anger, been greedy, grumpy, selfish or over-indulgent.
No ill feeling has entered my heart, nor have I
begrudged another soul. I am very pleased with
the way I have performed so far.
However, in a few minutes, Lord, I will be getting out of bed to begin the day, and from that
point on I will be in much need of your help and
understanding.
Thank you for being there for me.
Amen’.

“WOULD you like to do an Abseil for Christian

“When and where?”
Within a week, Steph (Christian Aid Co-ordinator for East and North Yorkshire) had signed Lucy

Be an angel – come to the Festival!
ON the weekend of Saturday 12 & Sunday 13
December Emmanuel is holding an Angel Festival.
During the two days the Church will be open and
hosting a number of events., including an Exhibition
based on the theme of Angels, their part in Bible tradition and especially the Christmas story.
The Exhibition will be open 10am – 4pm on the
Saturday and then 2-4pm on the Sunday and there
will be seasonal refreshments.
Community groups, schools and various art and
craft groups will be contributing to the Exhibition as
well as many individuals, and if you would like to
contribute a piece to be displayed please contact
David Hines on 07477097834. We will accept
exhibits in any category – photography, creative
writing, sewing, needle-crafts, knitting, art, sculpture
etc. – so get your creative juices going and feel free
to get involved.
Although plans are still evolving at the time of
going to press we are hoping to leave angels in many
places around the community for people to take
home, and through a link, read for themselves the
‘real’ Christmas story. If you see a knitted angel on
your journeys do feel free to pick it up and take it
home!
Also on the Saturday evening we are hoping to
have a Community Angel Sing-a-long for all ages,
and perhaps on the Sunday afternoon a ‘live’
Nativity scene, where people can come along, dress
up and put themselves into the scene for a great
photo opportunity!
We are really excited about the Angel Festival and
hope you might feel either you can contribute to our
Exhibition practically and/or also come along and
join in some of the events.
Be an angel – come and see the Angel Festival!

Cyril Reed –
a life of faith
expressed
in music
MONK Bretton has suffered another sad loss of one
of their stalwart members, Cyril Reed. He was a man
of deep faith, resulting in years of dedicated service
to the Methodist Church, first in Lundwood and then
Monk Bretton.
Cyril served in many roles. In his younger days he
was a Sunday School teacher and secretary for 20
years, following on into youth activities, working
with his wife Marilyn as leaders of the Youth Club
where weekly attendances were around 40.
He also wore the mantle of property steward,
which meant almost daily visits, checking and maintaining a sound, welcoming building.
Each office was held with great responsibility,
attention to detail and loyalty.
Throughout his faithful service his abiding passion
was church music and his love of the organ. This
began when his grandfather Crossley introduced him
to the piano at eight years of age, commenting that it
may be useful in church one day. Cyril chartered
over 50 years of organ playing, firstly at Lundwood,
l
Cyril seated at the Monk Bretton organ
quickly followed by his move to Monk Bretton on
the retirement of his uncle.
Cyril’s proudest achievement was to receive a long
service award from the Methodist Church in recognition of his 57 years service.
Enrichment of worship was grounded in Cyril’s
thorough preparation and many hours of practice.
Lasting memories of Cyril’s gift include his sensitive
selection of music for Holy Communion, when his
deep faith shone through, creating moments of inspiration and peace.
Thank you God for his life and service.
‘Keeping hope alive ...’
A FREE Advent resource,
‘Keeping Hope Alive’, has been
released by the Methodist Church.
Focusing on the significant works
of the Methodist Church’s Mission
in Britain Fund, the free resources
include real-life stories, leader’s
notes, a service outline and suggested prayers.
One such story comes from
Laura, who came across the Parson
Cross Initiative (PXI), a Mission in
Britain funded project, following a
period of severe bi-polar illness.
Separated from her two children,
her job, her home and her support
network, Laura was isolated and
vulnerable; until last year when she
joined an art group run by PXI.
Speaking about the project,
Laura said “The people running
PXI offered me acceptance, friendship, practical support, homecooked soup and love. Sometimes
hope is like a candle flame that has
almost gone out; it doesn’t go out
but sometimes I need friends to
remind me that it is still there.”
Laura is now actively involved in
the art group, creative writing
group, gardening club and is about
to become a member of her local
Methodist church.
Since last year’s Advent Offering
resource, ‘Watching and Waiting’ a
generous giving to Mission in
Britain has allowed the Methodist
Church to support more than 20
projects like the Parson Cross
Initiative across the UK.
The Revd Steven Wild, President
of the Methodist Conference,
added: “The excellent ‘Keeping
Hope Alive’ resource is a great
opportunity to see just a snippet of
the good works done across Britain
by the Methodist Church. Putting
on an Advent Offering service is
one way in which you can help
support others and get involved.”
l If you would like to put on an
Advent Offering service in your
church, you can find out more
information and register your event

Emmanuel is
a growing
presence in
the community
OVER the last year Emmanuel has made some significant strides in new community based projects,
and continues to grow its presence in the local and
wider Barnsley community.
As many of you might have seen in a recent edition
of the Barnsley Chronicle (9th October) in the pull
out Horizon News, Kirstie Hall and Lisa Hayward
are extending the Ignite (Secondary) School team’s
work delivering short courses to selected young people, initially in Year 7, but also in Years 8 and 9.
This work seeks to extend on the excellent feedback that was received last year from Horizon school
showing that it makes a difference in terms of behaviour, self-esteem and self-confidence. It is hoped that
over the coming year this work may also be extended to further secondary schools in the borough watch this space!
Similarly the Ignite (Primary) work led by Lucy
Stirk is also expanding - with primary school assembles and a Year 6 Transition Day being offered to further schools across the Circuit. The links with
Gawber, Summer Lane, Wilthorpe and St Mary’s
schools are also being strengthened and once again
the feedback from primary schools has been really
encouraging - many asking for more!
Lifepath was successful once again last year, and
the Core Team has been meeting already this
Autumn to talk about expanding the event in another
church in Barnsley. The project continues to receive
generous external funding, enabling the project to be
spearheaded by Kirstie Hall and Heidi Moore.
We have a big vision for Barnsley Lifepath and our
ultimate aim is for all children in the Borough to hear
the story of James Hudson Taylor and his impact as
a missionary!
Emmanuel also secured funding for this
Connexional Year to employ a part-time young person to work as part of the Methodist Church’s One
18
Programme.
David Hines is leading the work, and is doing specific work concerned with working between different
generations. He has already led a successful IT
course where five more senior people were mentored
by five younger people on a one-to-one basis (and he
only began in September, at the end of which month
he also became a dad! - see photo).
Other projects include the Angel Festival (see page
9, cooking across the ages and also a creative project
(perhaps a musical) where lots of different people
will be able to work together.
We are very privileged to have David working with
Emmanuel for 15 hours a week, as well as sharing in
the leadership of a number of national Methodist
Church youth events. If you see him around please
do encourage him - he is wonderful to have on board
in a great staff team.
All change at Kexborough
Over a year has passed since it was
decided to make alterations to our
church. The Girls’ Brigade was
short of rooms having a good number of different groups and was
having to use the back of the
church which was restricted by the
pews. The front of our church was
bitty having been changed from the
original design twice, firstly the
communion area was enlarged and
made more usable in the days of
Bryan Gates and later we removed
the choir pews and made a place
for a piano and lectern.
One of our problems was the
church heating, being designed for
a coke boiler heating the place all
winter it was not good enough to
heat the place for just one day. By
removing the pews we could have
radiators to increase the heating.
We wanted to remove the inefficient steel pipes and by changing
the front of the church we could
give access under the floor for the
heating engineers. The new front
was designed to be on a level with
our prayer chapel and with a ramp
to allow wheelchair users.
We thought that our pulpit could
be utilised as a reading desk, but
when it was removed this proved
to be impracticable. We had a front
barrier with an oak top which our
joiner made into a beautiful cross
which now hangs in the centre of
the front wall.
Our request for permission to do
the work stumbled when the
District thought our church was a
heritage building and nothing
moved for months, but we managed to be able to start with the
school holidays, when we had no
l A view from the back of the church
mid week meetings.
To save money we removed the
pews ourselves and Higham
church came and took them for
reuse in their church. The front of
the church was all removed by ourselves giving the heating engineers
a week to install the new radiators.
Our joiner then built the front platform.
It was at this time that we decided to part decorate, we could not
reach the top or the two arches,
which from the ground looked fair.
Our quotes for the carpet allowed
us to re-carpet all the church complete with the prayer chapel and
entrance porch.
The folding wall between the hall
and the church was replaced to
give better soundproofing and also
to keep the Fire Officer happy as
we have been instructed to make
this a fire exit from the church.
The last part of the project was
the delivery of chairs. We have
enough chairs for our usual morning congregation which will stay in
place for most of the time.
Stacking chairs to match these are
stored so they can be wheeled out
if necessary to fill the back half of
the church which is usually left
clear for mid week use and for toddlers to be kept entertained during
worship.
We hope that our new layout will
make a welcome for any visitors
we have whether church people or
not.

Is the Family Fellowshi
NO doubt you’ve heard Eddie
Hambleton going on about the
annual trip to the Brierley Family
Fellowship Weekend at Cober Hill
Guest House, Cloughton. You may
even have asked yourself, “is it for
me?”
Well the answer is “YES!”
It’s an opportunity for everyone
to come together and do as little, or
as much, as they want; a time to
recharge the batteries; relax with a
book; help with the communal jigsaw; join in the games; partake of
good food (without the washing
up); or simply sit back and watch
as everyone else rushes around trying to compete in every competition, make it to choir practice - and
still have time left for the annual
walk to the seafront.
We go as a family - my mum (age
87), myself (a few years younger),
my daughter (24) and granddaughter (14 months on her last visit).
We enjoy spending time together
while still having the freedom to
do our own thing’ for mum the jigsaw, for me spending time with
family and friends, for Kirsty an
opportunity to shop, and for Ava
the change to be the centre of
attention while entertaining the
doting adults.
Give it a go and join us next year,
alone or with friends. You’ll soon
meet new people to share times
and experiences with. Look forward to seeing you there!

l The Peet family having a great time at Cloughton in March this year
The first time - but
certainly not the last!
THE idea of going to the Brierley
Fellowship Weekend had been
planted in my head by Ellie Peet
during a Bible study group she led
at Valley some months prior to the
event. Of course, I put the registration forms away somewhere safe
and promptly forgot about it until
Ellie asked me again much closer
to the time.
The weekend arrived and off we
set, wondering what was in store
for us. Would we enjoy it? Would
we fit in?
Any worries were quickly lifted
upon arrival at the hotel, where we
were greeted by our personal
porter (Eddie), who, after checking
us in, showed us to our room andexplained the outline of the weekend and where everything would
be taking place.
The Friday evening buffet was
followed by a casual games and
fun evening, which gave us the
opportunity to get to know people
in a relaxed atmosphere.
In between breakfast and lunch
on Saturday the serious games
started! Golf putting, carpet bowls,
table tennis and the Olympics.
What a laugh - young and old all
joining in together.
Saturday evening saw no
expense spared to bring top class
entertainment to us. This was
provded by ourselves. When I say
ourselves I mean people who had
been there previously. As newcomers we were let off. However, I
have been rehearsing for next year.
After breakfast on Sunday we
had our morning service led by
Ellie and Wayne. As you can image
a service led by these two was anything but conventional. Needless to
say the worship was wonderful and
uplifting.
Sunday lunch, and all too quickly, the time came to leave. What a
wonderful weekend of friendship
and fellowship. This was the first
time, but certainly not the last.
Looking forward to next year.
- David Shone
p weekend for you?

My ‘feel-good weekend’
I ALWAYS refer to the Brierley Family Fellowship
Weekend as my ‘feel good weekend’ I had been feeling
down since Graham passed away and then I was given the
opportunity to join Brierley on their weekend away. I was
a little nervous as it was the first time away without
Graham. I needn’t have worried, because it was a wonderful weekend, with lots of love, laughter and fun the whole
time.
I didn’t feel alone because everyone looked after me so
well. I even won a lovely prize for one of the quizzes.
If you need a ‘feel good weekend’ come and join us I can
certainly recommend it and I’ve already got my name
down for next year!
See you there!
Pat McIntosh
With friends to be made,
And games to be played,
With winks to tiddle and puzzles to fiddle,
Then balls to pot - is that our lot?
Oh no - there’s a concert to make your sides ache,
And Sunday morning worship that’ll keep you
awake,
You’re fed like a lord and go home with a grin,
Cos the Cloughton weekend does what it says on
the tin!
