Easter Church Service<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Wednesday morning school assemblies this half-term, the Vicar has been teaching the children about Holy Communion. Children in the Juniors, who have been baptised (christened), are being invited to receive Holy Communion, if they wish, when the school goes over to church for this term’s Wednesday morning church service, which is in Holy Week, on Wednesday 28th March<\/em><\/strong>. If you are happy for your child to receive Holy Communion, please return the slip at the end of the newsletter. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Vicar directly as vicar@these4parishes.co.uk<\/a> or on 21712.\u00a0 As always parents, grandparents and friends are very welcome to join us at this service, which starts at 10am.<\/p>\n

Golf Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Nick Barron and for the last few weeks\/months I have been teaching your children golf in after school club.\u00a0 I hope they have had as much fun as I have had coaching them!<\/p>\n

To follow on from these sessions I just thought I would keep you informed of a couple of options for your child should they wish to continue playing golf through the summer.\u00a0 Every Tuesday night from 4pm I host Junior Coaching sessions at Bentham Golf Club which are open to anyone and everyone whether they are a member of the golf club or not.\u00a0 They do not need to have played golf.\u00a0 There are a number of sessions for all ages and abilities split into groups depending on this and run every 45 minutes up until 7pm.\u00a0 The first of these sessions will start on Tuesday 3rd<\/sup> April. The cost for these sessions is just \u00a330 for 10 weeks.<\/p>\n

Following on from that, every first Tuesday in the month starting from May there will be a \u2018Texas Scramble\u2019 competition night.\u00a0 These nights are aimed at giving the kids a little more experience playing in competitions\/matches.\u00a0 The juniors are sent out in groups of 3 also with one\/two golfing adults, parents and grandparents are actively encouraged, to help with rules & etiquette of golf.\u00a0 These nights are great fun and the kids love them.\u00a0 To take part in the Texas Scramble nights your child has to be a member of the golf club due to them playing on the golf course, memberships start from just \u00a315 for the year so it is pretty cheap.<\/p>\n

If this sounds like fun for your child then please get in touch with me on the details below or bob into the Pro shop at Bentham Golf Club for a chat.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
