12 Brownies and 2 leaders enjoyed a full day (7.30am till 7.15pm) taking part in the GoGlobal challenge – an arts festival for Guides from all over the Midlands. It was certainly a challenge for those of us not especially good at the arts!
The venue was the Newark Showground, where we were challenged with 4 activities during the day. We made mouse rockets and lava lamps, enjoyed dancing, a quiz based on world centres and made music. The music leader this was fantastic and taught us to play drums and percussion instruments using common phrases. Watch out Radford Road there may be a budding music group in the making!!
Singing Dancing
The dance group signed autographs for the Brownies

The closing ceremony was spectacular with lights and smoke adding to the effects. Everyone enjoyed the singing at the end led by Katie Perry!
The girls who must have sung themselves hoarse as there was no sound from them on the return journey.

Clarice celebrated her 90th birthday on March 1st after Morning Service surrounded by family and friends.
It was a delightful occasion enjoyed by all and it was wonderful to have Clarice’s children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and her many Church friends gather together to wish a lovely lady “Happy Birthday”

Jane and her helpers organised a splendid afternoon when home made puddings interspersed
with poetry readings were greatly enjoyed. We welcomed a poetry Group led by Margaret Bowden who started the afternoon with poetry they had written themselves.
This was followed by Round 1 of Puddings where we didn’t count the calories!
After cups of tea and coffee more poetry followed from several of those who attended the event. Poetry was diverse and entertaining ranging from well known “classical” poetry by famous poets to humorous verses and poems enjoyed in childhood.
Round 2 of Puddings followed with still more poems after that.
Everyone agreed that it was a splendid afternoon thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Everyone at Radford Road Church sends their warmest congratulations to the Revd. James Church and Sarah Malsam who announced their engagement on January 18th 2015.
We hear that a summer wedding is planned!
