Monday the 9th of June (Bladyon Races Day!) saw Gibside Cub pack making chocolate bananas on the BBQ as the ground was too wet to light a proper fire.

Church Parade this Sunday 15th June - Father's Day

As usual we're meeting at 09.15 in the Rectory Hall (opposite St Mary's Centre) in Church Chare and we should dismiss from the same place around 10.45. Please make sure you're in full uniform and you may want to bring a small donation for the collection too. Families are welcome to join us in the church service too!

Here is a map showing Church Chare https://goo.gl/maps/5lVh4 which is Cul-de-sac and where parking is very limited, so we'd ask you park near by and walk to the Rectory Hall.

If you'd like to know more about St Mary's Church please visit their website on  http://www.stmaryswhickham.org.uk/
