Our council hosts a large number of council activities throughout the year. The highlight of the month is the full Council meeting which takes place at the church of SS Francis and Therese on the third Monday. A varied agenda is presented for in addition to the business part of the meeting proceedings are interlaced with the Chaplain’s homily, praying a decade of the rosary, prayers and readings.

After the formal part of the meeting there are refreshments followed by a wide ranging discussion on some catholic topic. A varied programme of events is being planned for the following twelve months. Emphasis is being given to social activities and in course of preparation are theme suppers, a barbeque, visits to locations of catholic interest (e.g. stately home), golf tournament and a challenge match with a neighbouring Council at darts/skittles.

339 Update - August 2001

Mexican Wave

I understand from reports, that the Mexican Night, held at Billing Institute on Saturday 21st July was a great success. As predicted in the last copy of 339 Update, everybody had great fun, and Brother Eddie has started his new reign as Social Secretary with a big hit. Our thanks to Bro. Eddie, and all his family, for all their hard work. I understand from Bro, Con that our funds have also benefited from this event.

339 Update

At the last Meeting, Bro Con asked if he could have help with the production of the Newsletter after about three and a half years. Bros. David Gregg and Ray Clifford offered their services. If any other Brothers feel that they would like to take a turn as well, please let the GK know, and a rota will be set up.

If any Brothers would like to air their feelings/thoughts on any subject which is relevant to our Order, or would just like to satisfy a long felt literary urge, please let the GK have your work before the end of the month, for inclusion in the next issue.
