188 Years of The Stanhill Methodist Church

Many memories of the walks, especially when we got lost and had to be rescued by one of the dad’s! The leader’s orienteering skills needed some improvement! The annual New Year Parties in January continued well into the 2000’s. Everyone enjoyed joining in the games. Brush in the Bucket was a favourite, as well as the Chocolate Game, and French Shopping. All the ladies emptied their hand bags waiting for an item to be called out, such as a lipstick. The runner from each team rushed with the item to the ‘caller’. First one there got a point! Kathleen Wray always had a pack of ladies’ tights, waiting eagerly for that item to be called! These Parties were fun for all ages! The annual BBQ’s in August at the Plummers’ were also enjoyed to celebrate the birthdays of three of our ladies: Mary Grimshaw and Marjorie Plummer sharing the 14th and Hilda Silcock on the 18th.
