1st Bletchley Amicus

During the summer we honoured a couple of our Promise Auction commitments: supreme cleaning and ‘brute force’ gardening. Last week we continued the gardening theme with Plasticine Play-doh Gardening – organised by Steph.  Each member was given a sheet of paper as a blank canvas for their garden, and access to fluorescent play-doh and gray clay and tasked with creating their own garden.  A special prize awaited the most imaginative/best crafted “garden”.  Each creation was different, with it’s own strengths, but the eventual winner was…… well, you’ll have to take a look through the pictures below to see who has the lolly:

There were a number of notable quotes during the evening, which were shared via the Amicus Twitter account:

‘Oh no! I’ve stained myself!‘ – James Coward

‘Do you often come down in the night and find small vampires nibbling at your telly?‘ – Ali Bradley

David led our closing devotions and encouraged us to consider God through the process of photosynthesis (yeah, really).  By his own admission it was a bit last minute – but it showed promise and led to some interesting discussions and biology revision. It also involved some memorable quotes:

‘God’s pretty clever…‘ – David Putman

‘In biology we’re studying plants and stuff which is very interesting. But I won’t bore you with it.‘ – David Putman

Please remember to return your consent forms and pay your £10 membership fee if you haven’t already.  Our activities are limited until the forms are returned and fees paid.

We’ve been invited to join Newport Pagnell Amicus for a trip to Alton Towers – see below for details:

Date: Sunday, 18th October
Time: 7am – 9pm (approx)
Cost: £30 – cheaper with 2 for 1 deal (visit WH Smith) or Tesco Clubcard vouchers
Transport: cars & drivers required (fuel will be paid)

If you are interested in joining them, we need to know as soon as possible.  Neither Ricky or Nick are able to make it – so we are in need of one or two willing drivers.  Without these drivers, we won’t be able to join them.

Details of the programme for the next few months are in the Amicus Calendar, which can now be accessed via the new Calendar page.  Email reminders will be sent a week before each activity and will include details of individual responsibilities (organiser, assistant, devotions).  If you are listed as responsible for any activity but are unable to make it, please find a replacement as soon as you can.
