CUBB Christmas Party

In keeping with our tradition to have a Christmas Party in the New Year, CUBB held theirs on Saturday 31st January.  It was decided by most of the members to have a more traditional party than in other years and to invite a friend along.  Party tea was agreed upon as being a Chinese style buffet do.

The first game of a ballon relay, passing the bollon over your head to the next person who passes it between their legs to the next, who passes it over their head was played first.  Then a game of drawing a word was played followed by "make a mummy".

 They then had some "free time" to play on the Wii, bouncy castle, giant Jenga and other board ganes.

Tea followed, which was nearly all eaten up.  Too finish off with, "pass the parcel" with sweets and forfits!

WWWYCs Got Talent - Jan 2015

As a result of a suggestion from Club members via their elected representatives at the Leadership Meeting, a Talent Show was held.  It was agreed with by the YP Reps that there would be a first prize of £20 vouchers and two runner up prizes of £10 vouchers each.  They also requested that someone "famous" present the prizes.

Our "famous" person was The Mayor of Maldon, Clr. S Nunn.  His claim to fame was to have been a contestant on the Radio One quiz "Mayor of Where" a few weeks before.

The two judges were ladies who have several to many years experience in the armature dramatics and dancing world.  They were also supported by a gentleman who did the sound engineering for them.

Three acts competed in the show and we were pleased to have two young ladies from the younger club perform also.  They were in the competition too.

New WWWYC Logo

At one of the Leadership Meetings, the Young People Representatives asked if a new logo could be designed.  The competition was held on 14th Jan and a prize fro the winner (gift voucher) was also given as well as having their design as the logo.

Congratulations to the winner and the design was: -

One of the young people offered to take the design hame and "computerise it" (not sure if they are becoming a computer geek|).  Here is the output from that: -

WWWYC Christmas Party 2015

On Wednesday 10th December WWWYC held it's Christmas party.  It was held (sort of early) as it was felt many would be involved with Christmas activities at school or other organisations.

Once the younger group, who also had their Christmas party on the same evening had gone home, the young people were invited to play the "hanging doughnut" game.  The game is about who can eat the doughnut (which is hanging on string from a rope across the room) with out using their hands.  The doughnut must not drop on the floor but eaten whole from the string.  The winner took 1minute 6.1 seconds.

They also enjoyed the "chocolate game" where you attempt to eat a bar of chocolate (square at a time) wear a hat, scarf and gloves.  However, you only get a turn if you throw a 6 on a dice.  In order to give the person eating their way through the bar is to throw and pass on the dice as quickly as possible!

The young people brought some food in for all to share, with drinks being provided.  After food, they played the "flour game".  Flour is placed in a bowl and turned upside down.  A sweet is placed on the centre of the flour.  Each player takes a turn to cut away a slice of flour.  Who every causes the sweet to fall off the top has to pick the sweet up with their teeth.

There was also an opportunity to play "apple bobbing"

Local Paper Article

As there is a regular number of young people at WWWYC the need for a third regular adult helper was identified.  A letter to the representatives as "Churches Together In Maldon" (which it was hoped would go out to all churches in Maldon) resulted in one adult coming forward to help out.  He is also connected to the "Bar 'N' Bus" activity that takes place on Friday evening at the Prom.

With 16 very active young people who use nearly every room at the church, keeping them safe is important.  If they are cooking, doing craft or playing outside, a third set of eyes and hands is needed.  When the bouncy castle is out, one leader is always supervising it.

There is still a need for at least two adults on a rota basis.

WWWYC 19th Nov 2014

This week was just a general club meeting with the opportunity to make (and eat then or later) kerb style sweet sticks.  The one tricky sweet to push the sick through was the chocolate coin.

We also took a group photo, well nearly!

At the end of the evening we played a new group game, swing blob.  A soft blob (lump) is tied to the end of a rope.  Everyone stands in a circle and the rope and blob is swung round.  Each person jumps over the blob, which changes speed from time to time.  If the rope gets caught round ankles, the player is out.

WWWYC 12th Nov 2014

This week saw the first use of the badminton net and rackets.  Whilst not a full size net, it does fit comfortably in the hall and allows for other activities to be run along side.

The members of the Club were given an opportunity to play a 4 player Wii game with the screen projected on to a wall rather than a TV.
