There will be a Church Meeting on Tuesday 4th February at 7pm. This is open to both members and adherents (i.e. any regular members of the congregation).

T.T. & MGP2024

This June we provided the visitors to our church with over 1,500 freshly filled baps, around 1,600 portions of home made cake, and over 3,250 hot drinks! There were also many, many, cans of pop, bottles of water, chocolate bars and bags of crisps.

August was quieter for the MGP, and the weather was, we believe, the worst MGP weather for at least 20 years. However we still provided refreshment, toilet facilities, and a friendly smile to all those who came along to watch from the church grounds.

We would like to say a very big THANK YOU! to everyone who contributed during both events - without the people who make sure we have stock, look after the money, bake, make sandwiches, man the urn, run around topping everything up, and so on, we could not continue to provide the service to the visitors that we do.

Here are a few TT photos, starting with Helen and Kevin behind the 'counter' ready to serve when we open the doors.

By 3.30 it looked like this - you can imagine how bare the table was by 7pm when we finished!

we have a constant stream of visitors.

because, on the other side of the wall that they are leaning on, bikes pass at well over 100mph.

and, at the end of the day, this is the queue to climb over the style and so back to the main grandstand area, before the roads open!

This was our wall during the MGP -

We received over 500 messages of thanks via FaceBook this year - for the fresh food, our warm welcome, and also the chance to come through and sit in the peace of the church.

Warm Space Initiative.

We have 'coffee and chat' in the coffee room alternate Tuesday afternoons from 2 - 4.30 September to June, which is part of this initiative. Some of us bring our crafting things to do, or there are books to read and adult colouring books available. Everyone is welcome.
