Play table tennis in church!

Leave a comment

We have a new table tennis club at St Mark’s, starting on Friday evening (September 28), 7-9pm.

The club is open to all ages and abilities and everyone is welcome. If you don’t know how to play or are a bit rusty, we can give you some tips, but if you are a skilled player we’ll be happy to pick up tips from you too!

We also have a small pool table so you can play on that while waiting for a turn at table tennis – or play table tennis while waiting for a game of pool.

After this Friday, it will take place on the first and third Fridays of the month – October 5 and 19, November 2 and 16, December 7 (no meeting on December 21).

The club has been made possible by a donation from the Farnham Institute which paid for the table tennis table and some soft seating for anyone waiting.

For further details of the club call Stella Wiseman on 07854 426297 or email news@badshotleaandhale.org

On 11th August, from 12.00, St George’s Church, Badshot Lea, join us for a fun afternoon (hopefully in the sun!) BBQ, mocktails, soft drinks, teas, games for everyone, young and old – a bit of music, a chance to relax. (If you’d rather have something a bit stronger to drink then please feel free to bring your own.) Open to all. Tickets £1 from Maxine – 01252 318135 – mainly so we have an idea of numbers. All proceeds to St. George’s heating fund. (If it does rain, we will be literally in the church 😃)

St . George’s Church, Badshot Lea – Heating Appeal

Our heating broke down at Christmas. We could just replace it, but we are an Eco Church and we want to look to the future – heating that will be environmentally friendly AND make our Church warm and inviting for every one.

So we are holding special events, and here is the first one. Not just for Church goers but for everyone who likes a good hymn – come and enjoy the selected hymns on May 6th at 6:30pm. Let me know if you’d like a voting slip and please share😊

Parish barn Dance 2018

Leave a comment

Was there something particularly depressing about January this year? We always hold our parish barn dance on the nearest Friday to Candlemas (2nd Feb.). However, this year we sold far fewer tickets. Instead of 80 – 100 attendees, as was the norm for the previous seven years, we had 30 – 40. I don’t think we publicised any less than normal, so it’s a bit of a mystery.

It’s not the only event I’ve been involved in recently that’s been poorly attended or cancelled through lack of interest. I think there’s a general feeling of depression and uncertainty across the country at the moment, leading to an all-pervading apathy.

Anyway, those who did attend enjoyed themselves and we had some good dancing and an excellent supper (thank you Alison and Matthew).

After deducting all expenses, we contributed £233 to parish funds. Last year we managed £688. Quite a contrast. However, it’s never been about making money, but about having an event to bring the parish together.

My thanks to all who attended and helped. I think it may have run its course at the moment and it’s time to try something else next year.

Love your Church Sunday – 11th Feb

Leave a comment

This year we are combining Valentine’s Day with a celebration of being church on 11th February. There will be balloons and cake, and during the service there will be a bit of fun with a quiz and during the sermon slot we will have a “Ask the Vicar anything you like” opportunity.

We will have envelopes for everyone who comes along to church with information about your church and your parish that you might not know! Lots of opportunities to find out more and ask the questions you always wanted answered! So please come along on 11th February and pick up your envelope.

We would love everyone to get involved – if you would like to decorate the churches or create a quiz about your church or make some cakes or anything else you are very welcome!
