We welcomed Amber along this evening for the first time – she’s been helping out in the Anchor section for some time.  Goodness knows what she made of it all, having missed the first three sessions.  We hope to see her again next week.

For devotions , as a result of her Laryngitis, Nicci blessed us with an amazing mini-sermon on the words of Jesus in Mark 6:31.

We ended the evening with a couple of rounds of french cricket, before trying a few games of dodgeball (ala Dodgeball the movie).  It seemed to go down well – we may try it again, but only with sponge balls, not wrenches…

Next Week: Christmas Party, incorporating Retro-Amicus Videos. It’s being organised by Maddy, Chris & Matt, but you have a part to play too.  As discussed tonight, please bring along either savoury nibbles or sweet treats, or drinks.  We hope to be joined by a multitude of Uni bods too.  It should be an amazing evening including some of the very earliest Amicus videos (back when the video camera had to be carried on your shoulder!), some great food, fantastic fellowship, and lots of Wii.

Also, next Tuesday we’ve been invited to join the BB Christmas party from 7-9:30pm on Tuesday at WECC.  You don’t need to bring anything – except yourselves and bags of energy.  See you there!

[This update was almost entitled "I've come to wipe your nipples" but I feared that might be a little to racy for some.]

This week we continued producing our second Amicus film. We still have at least another weeks work beforeit is completed – but we’ll be having a rest next week. There are no photos to see, and not much more to report on than last week, except that Simon has produced an out-takes video to keep us going until the real thing is ready.

Thanks to Simon for the extra work he put in last night to ensure we had maximum time to spend on filming. Above and beyond…

As the only entry for last week’s Caption Competition, Nick Bosdet won a Snickers bar. If you come up with a funny/creative/off-the-wall caption next time – it could be you!

Well done to Yolanda for leading devotions for the first time. I really can’t remember what it was about because we were all laughing at her so much – is that bad?!

Next Week: Cake People

Last night, following the success of Filming – Part One, we rather predictably embarked on Filming – Part Two.  This involved some filming, a few bits of costume, amazing set-dressing, and the logistics of moving everyone in and out of the scene at the right time.  I still can’t share too much, but…

We started off with a quick run through of the script, with minimal actions, but much laughing.  Then we made the tea, by dressed the set and made “snow” {1, 2, 3} which would later be shaken by David.  Then onto a full pre dress rehersal with Simon ably directing, and people mostly following his instructions.  Cookies were eaten, lines were mimed (yeah, weird isn’t it) and there was a massive mess made on the floor of the multimedia room.  But well done to everyone for tidying up in double-quick time – pity all the polystyrene snow ended up in David’s hair.

There are a few pictures below and more in the gallery which will give you a flavour of what went on.

Secret Filming

I managed to take the following film which doesn’t give away too much, except the amount of fun we had tonight:

Caption Competition

The picture below is just crying out for the return of the Caption Competition. There will be a yummy prize next week for the caption I judge to be the funniest – leave your suggestion as a comment below – and be sure to leave your name and email address.
