Scubed Autumn Programme 2008

And so we come to Autumn. That season of ‘mellow fruitfulness’. Autumn; with its strong winds with cold and damp conditions. Autumn: not clearly distinguishable from summer.

September 14th The first of our ‘New for 2008’ Scubed Sunday evenings.

What’s in?: More space (we meet at the village Hall in Bathford), More time (we meet from 6.30 to 8.00), less whispering (With space, we can make more noise as we explore the Christian faith). What’s no longer allowed: Sadly no more knife throwing, fire-eating or poking members of the choir with a stick.

September 20th Whether the weather permits; The Crazy Golf open championships at Vickie Park.

September 28th Scubed Sunday in the village hall. Please bring your brain.

October 12th Scubed Sunday in the village hall. Please bring your own teeth.

October 18th ‘Moved on by the police’ A progressive supper that kicks off at 7.00 at the Craine’s

October 26th Scubed Sunday in the village hall. Please bring someone else’s teeth

November 9th Scubed Sunday in the village hall. Please bring own kidneys

November 15th Meet Bathford’s only outdoor pianist and roving a campanologist.

November 23rd Scubed Sunday in the village hall. Please bring all things bright and beautiful

December 14th Christingle Service on Sunday afternoon. Please do come, help with the pyrotechnics, help damp the flaming vicar’s cassock and enjoy some refreshments with us afterwards. This is a really short and friendly service and suitable if you don’t always feel comfortable in church. That’s why the vicar enjoys it so much.

Sadly with a growing group, we won’t be able to provide such a comprehensive transport service. We are sorry, but suggest we ‘compare notes’ before each event to check that everyone can arrive and get home safely, and see if we can share lifts.

Tea and Toast with the Tiny Tots

This will be happening on the first Monday of each month, from 10 until 11.30 am at St Swithuns Church. There will be time for playing, craft, singing, a story and a selection of yummy snacks, all free of charge. Everyone welcome, just bring a pre-school child with you!
