Spring 2009

pub

Club 18-40 exists as a social and spiritual group for those who are of student age and a little bit beyond.  The group is about half students and all are welcome.  No faith commitment is expected and attendance at events offered is entirely voluntary.  It is part of the Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Beeston (Church of England) on the western edge of Nottingham.

Venues for events are available on request-contact details can be found below.  We have good links with local churches and some Monday evenings will be held as joint meetings with the 20s & 30s Group of Queens Road Methodist Church; this may involve a change of venue.

Socials: Food is provided with a vegetarian option.  Other diets can be accommodated with notice.  A contribution of £3 (£2 students/unwaged) is requested to cover the cost of food.

Bible Studies will normally look at the Gospel reading for the following Sunday's communion.  Arrive 7.30 for a cuppa, 7.45 start, then pub at 9.00.  We frequent the Vic (Victoria Hotel) on Dovecote Lane.  You are welcome to join us for either part or both!

Walking Group: An open invitation is extended from the Walking Group which normally meets on the last Saturday of each month.

Contact details: Please contact Tom Wale for further details of our activities including venues.  Mobile: 0797 668 6382 or email tfwale@gmail.com
