Renew ‘08

8:55 pm 02/19/08

 

RENEW ‘08

Friday 23rd May - Monday 26th May

Leigh Playing Field

 

Ever felt like there’s never time to catch up with friends and neighbours?

 

RENEW ‘08 provides a lovely opportunity to do this and will soon be here. With 2 GIANT MARQUEES planned this year and even more Carrot cake than last year - It really will be the place to be for Spring Bank Holiday weekend. All the village are invited to share in a feast of RENEWAL .

 

The Christians of Leigh want to celebrate the transforming energy of the Spring Season - let’s get together and find out all that’s good about Leigh in 2008 - make new friends and catch up with old ones, learn about what the churches are doing to celebrate our rural community, join in the art workshops, watch the fireworks or just chill!. Over the weekend there will be words of encouragement from visiting speakers including Bishop Gordon of Stafford, Rev Rob Mountford and Rural advisor Gordon Gatward not to mention the motorbiking evangelist, our gospel choir and band and much more.

 

The young people will be wise to note the dates in their diaries too as we’ll have kids club for the 10 and unders meeting throughout the weekend with a programme of games, crafts, songs and more. Meanwhile the teens can look forward to chilling in their own youth café and Saturday night will be young peoples Rock night when we welcome THE GENTLEMEN with support band on stage, together with more antics from last years comic team - Phil and Johnny!

 

The RENEW team have been considering a new event as an extra for this years weekend. This would be a village showcase to act as a shop window for all organisations within Leigh to promote their groups. Planned for the Monday 26TH May daytime - an open invitation will be extended to every group, facility, club to bring along a couple of representatives and a table top display. The café would still be open and the whole village will be welcome then to come and learn what activities are going on in their locality which may just be up their street but perhaps they never knew existed. If you fancy the idea and want to sign up your group please email / phone to confirm a level of interest.

A special treat and an extra will be the opportunity to enjoy an evening of entertainment with Syd Little who we all knew so well as one half of Little and Large not so many years ago. He has compellimg stories to share of his lifes journey of ups and downs and we are thrilled to have been able to host Syd as our RENEW ‘08 Finale.

 

More details to follow soon but for now please be sure to book your diaries and tell everyone you know to do the same, as we know we have something for the whole village and we want to welcome you all.

W.I Feb meeting

8:52 pm 02/19/08

Leigh & District W.I.

 

Four members were fortunate to attend New Years gatherings at neighbouring institutes.

The most talented group “Pebbles” entertained members at Kingstone with unaccompanied songs from around the world and the enjoyable eveining at Marchington was completed by the surprising arrival of a real life reindeer from the famous herd at Blithbury.

 

Craft meetings re-commenced on 17th January , members were discussing the choice of a new project while doing their own crafts. We are looking forward to our first bi-monthly lunch of 2008 on 5th March at the New Broom in Checkley.

 

The Fiveways spring group meeting is on 28th March at Uttoxeter, the speaker will be Derek Poulson on “Dialects”

 

On W.I. Produce Day at the County Showground on 22nd April members will have the chance to see Jonathan Horseley N.A.FA.S, International Flower Demonstrator from Derby and Sheila Dibrah speaking on her life with Fred the steeplejack.

 

A taster day is planned for Denman College on 29th May - a coach will be provided.

 

The speaker for the February meeting was Panny Wheat on “The craft of the Silversmith”

Her talk was most interesting as she has been a lecturer at Stafford College for 32 years and had brought along tools for her demonstration and a large collection of her silverware.

 

Members were particularly interested as quite a few members have chosen the Silver Jewellery Course to study at Denman College this year.

 

The meeting in March is the AGM.
