Well what a day!

We left Northampton in the rain to head to Twinlakes for our Juniors' day of fun and adventures, to arrive with dry weather 🌥

We enjoyed loads of rides, our picnic lunch, more rides and play areas, our leaders embraced the fun too...
It was great to share the day with our friends from the 7th Northampton Boys' Brigade and offer a huge 'thank you' to Northamptonshire Boys' Brigade for organising our awesome day.

It was great to be back at BB and this evening our Anchors and Juniors had a visit from a very special dog.

We met Nieve, Emily's Medical Detection dog who helps keep her safe when she begins to feel really unwell. We learned that Nieve has a very sensitive nose to help her do this special job.
They got creative designing a new coat for her and had lots of fun playing games too.
Thank you Nieve, Emily and Jono for your visit, it was good to hear all about the good work MDD do for people 😊

Company & Seniors took on the challenge of 'The answer is our there' and used their imagination as well as initiative to come by their answers.

So good for us to share together- we missed those of you who couldn't make itc and hope to see you next week

We are blessed to have such amazing volunteer leaders here at the 22nd, thank you for all you do for us....You are superstars!!!💫

Today marks the start of Volunteers' Week and we want to say a huge thank you to our 6,500+ volunteer leaders for all they do! 🙌

In communities across the country our children and young people are provided with opportunities to learn, grow and discover in a safe, fun and caring environment, which wouldn't be possible without the tireless dedication of our volunteers.

Keep an eye on our social media channels throughout this week as we'll be sharing stories from some of our volunteers of why they do what they do!

We hope you've had a great half term break.

We return to BB on Wednesday, 3rd June, Anchors & Juniors meeting 6pm to 7pm followed by Company & Seniors 7.15pm to 8.15pm.
We look forward to more fun, games & activities together.

A reminder that subs will be due for this Summer term - thank you.
See you all on Wednesday :)

It was Team Game challenges for our Anchors and Juniors this evening
🏃‍♂️running relays
⚽️ tunnel ball
⚽️under and over
Through the hoop relays and 🚦Traffic Lights to finish.
✝️ We reflected on the story of Pentecost recognising we can learn about Jesus in many different languages. 🖼We also got creative drawing the adventures we are hoping to have in half term...

Company and Seniors reflected on life being like a deck of cards, we don't know what hand will be dealt but with Jesus as our friend we can face that ✝️
Games of ping pong, table football and darts filled the rest of the evening.

Thank you lads and leaders for another fun filled, action packed term.

It was an evening full of colour at Anchors and Juniors this evening to brighten us all up.
🔴🟡🟢🔵colourful spinning tops, match the colour relay games and lots of fun, laughter and noise as we enjoyed our Parachute games.
✝️ we reflected on what our favourite colour was and how we are like a Box of crayons, all different but special in God's eyes

It was wonderful to welcome back our new friends too, with lots of smiles and chatter 🙂

Company and Seniors took on the Bullseye themed programme.
✝️ reflecting on What's in a name
🎯 Perfect knowledge, perfect aim
🎯Follow that throw (which was most popular
A brilliant time together with great sportsmanship and encouragement for each other

Looking forward to seeing you all next week
