Members and friends visited Holy Island on Saturday 16th July.

In July Sandi, Andrew & Ross went to the Keswick Convention, enjoying the K2 (20s and 30s group), youth events and the main tent.  Andrew came back with lots of books.  Ross came back with flu and Sandi came back waterlogged as her campsite was about to be flooded by the river!  It rained... nothing new!

In June Ross and family attended a presentation at Auckland Palace where he was given a Certificate in Youth Work  by Tom Wright the Bishop of Durham.  Here he is, on the extreme right of the group.
