There’s a new youth club on Friday nights in Windlesham for 11-16 year olds.  The club starts on Friday 6th Nov 2009 and runs from 7:30pm-9pm.  You’ll need to register if you want to come along and all the information you need and the registration form are here.

We’re having a Bright and Light party on Sat 31st Oct from 4-6pm at the Link.  All Infants and Juniors are welcome and we’ll be having fun, games, music and we’ll eat supper together.  There’ll be prizes too for the best fancy dress based on this year’s theme: Saints and Heroes.  Please book with Jo by Weds 28th Oct if you want to come at jowilkins@btinternet.com or 01276 474429.  There’s a suggested donation of £3 to help cover costs and please bring a completed registration form with you (2009 bright and light party registration form).

Our next Dangerous Club for Boys meet is coming up on Sunday 11th Oct from 2pm-4pm at The Lookout in Bracknell.  We’ll be geocaching this time so bring along a GPS if you’ve got one (iPhone and iTouch have one built in).  We’ll be doing a fair amount of walking and scrabbling around so make sure you’ve got the right boots/shoes and clothes.

Our meeting point will be on the benches between the Discovery Centre and the play equipment and we’ll have a drink and snack afterwards so bring some money for the Cafe or a flask of something.  So we know to expect you please drop Stefan an email.

You can find out what geocaching is at http://www.geocaching.com/.

Our 2009 Global Gang – Operation: Neighbourhood - involved masses of fun and some pretty cool stuff in the community.  Whilst the Infant school aged groups put on a tea concert for the elderly in the village, the Juniors attacked Windlesham’s rubbish in a huge litter pick.  Well done to all who came and to the team who helped.

There’s a whole load of events on offer for young people this summer holiday.  From workshops to Zorbing, take a look at the wvyp web-site for details:  www.wvyp.org.uk

OK, the summer is here so it’s time for a challenge.  If you’re by the beach sometime during the holidays, why not build a model boat from bits you find on the beach (beware of sharp objects!).  Once your masterpiece is ready write on the side or add a note in a waterproof container saying “Please photograph and email the photo and location found to events@dangerousclubforboys.com”.  We’ll have a prize for the most travelled boat.

Looking forward, here’s the dates for DC4B over the coming school year.  Normally we’ll meet in the late afternoon but some activities will be longer so keep a track on the web-site: 11th Oct, 15th Nov, 24th Jan 2010, 7th Mar, 16th May, 11th July

Our second Dangerous Club for Boys was a great success with everything from making stomp rockets and water rockets, to some seriously impressive air-burst and solid fuel launches.

Our next meeting is on Sunday 12th July from 4pm-6pm and we are kindly being hosted by Woodcote House School.  You can find directions on the School’s website. 

Our theme this time is rockets and we’ve got plenty of fun planned.  If you’d like to make your own rocket beforehand then why not make a water rocket body out of a 2 litre fizzy drinks bottle.  You’ll find lots of ideas on Google for decoration/fins/etc and we’ll provide the launchers.

We’ll finish with pizza and need to know how many people will be coming so please let us know asap by email to events@dangerousclubforboys.com.  The event will be weather dependent so take look at the web-site on the day and we’ll tell you about any changes of plan.

We are holding British Red Cross first aid training on Sat 11th July.  Two courses are being offered: Save-a-life (£12), which is a 2 hour course and is the Guildford Diocesan minimum recommended training for Child Protection purposes, and a 1 day Basic First Aid course (£40). Contact the office for more details or to book: office@windleshamchurch.org.uk / (01276) 489408.  Please book by Mon 29th June.
