CKERS Newsletter (Autumn 2008) – 5th November 2008

Hello to everyone; firstly a big well done to all who took part in our own ‘Helmdon’s Got Talent’, both the performers and everyone who supported them.

If you have a friend who may be interested in CKERS and would like to find out more please encourage them (and ask them to bring a parent/ guardian) to come along on Sunday evening. If you have a favourite game please bring it along.

General reminder – please remember to bring your £1 subs for each meeting – it helps us to pay for the activities/refreshments.

Report from Autumn Talkabout – 5th November 2008

The CKERS youth group is for children in Year 5 and above and meets on alternate Sunday evenings in term time. The group is supported by the Church and we aim to include a variety of activities in our programme whether it is a game of rounders or a night hike in Wistley Wood.

This year we enjoyed food evenings – pizzas and pancakes (separate dates!), quiz and games nights and rounders/volleyball on the school field. Out and about we’ve been to the cinema, 10 pin bowling and our trip to Avon Dasset Country Park for kite flying was perfectly timed for the windiest evening in June. The annual night hike in Wistley Wood saw teams of 5/6 navigating to checkpoints around the wood and completing challenges at each one. Our final event before the summer break was a bike ride and BBQ; the older group went to Moreton Pinkney and back and the rest went to Weston.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank HYHOs for their generous support in funding games equipment and activities for the group.

We re-start on the 7th September with rounders and games on the school field then on the 21st September its ‘Helmdon’s got Talent’ at the Church.

If you would like more information on your child joining CKERS please contact Andrew Rimmer:

Youth Group Going Strong – December 2003

Ckers is continuing to go from strength to strength with the youngsters enjoying various activities from quizzes to a Wizard’s evening and Fireworks. There is also the opportunity for the older group to socialize in the Chapel. We are very grateful to the Carnival Committee who have generously presented us with £100. This will go towards funding our events and providing craft materials and games for us to use with the youngsters.

Waterworks Bring & Buy Sale – 1st March 2003

Turning unwanted clothes and household items in to cash was the aim of the CKers youth club on Saturday 1st March as 15 members and helpers organised a Bring & Buy sale on behalf of the Blue Peter Waterworks Appeal.

After a busy afternoon in the Baptist Chapel the CKers had raised £290.15 for the charity.

Blue Peter says “The original target was £500,000! Enough money to pay for pumps and equipment to help 74 villages in Uganda and Tanzania and transform the lives of 30,000 people, giving them clean safe water for the rest of their lives.”

Events like the CKers Bring & Buy sale helped Blue Peter not only reach their target but exceed it – the total raised so far stands at £1,078,554.

The CKers would like to thank everyone who supported them.
