Come and join the friendship club which meets up every First Monday of the Month at Keelby Methodist Church from 2.00 to 4.00pm. The cost will be £2.50 per session which includes refreshment.  This month we will meet on Monday 7^th April 2014

Lincolnshire Plants and their Historical Uses.  Loretta Rivers explores how plants growing around our homes have been used, sometimes for medicines, but at other times for cleaning, keeping pests away and to provide lighting, furniture or food.

On April 5th our Charity Saturday will simply be a coffee morning and raffle, 10.00am to 1.00pm.  Do come and drink our coffee and eat cake or teacakes.  This month it’s a very different charity.  We, along with others in the Methodist Church, are raising money to help two young teams from Nicaragua – one male, one female – who are attending the Street Child World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.  So for the price of a raffle ticket you could help change a “street child’s” life!

Some members of Keelby are looking to start a Scrabble Club.  The first evening will be on Monday 24th March at 7.15pm.  They assure me it isn’t a serious intellectual meeting but more on the fun side!

Plans are afoot (ahem) for this year’s Humber Bridge Cross for Christian Aid, which is taking place on 10th May 2014.

The south side of the Humber has always been poorly represented in the event and churches across North & North East Lincolnshire are being encouraged all the more to take part.  The Bridge Cross is usually a ‘there and back’ saunter but you can make it more of a challenge by running or seeing how many times you can cross the bridge in 3 hours.

Let’s get a decent bunch of us from Grimsby & Cleethorpes Circuit doing the Bridge Cross this year.  If you are up for the challenge, contact Gill Thomas on taggiemax@gmail.com or 01472 276972 and let her know!

PS – we are also looking for Face Painters and BBQ-er’s for both sides of the bridge cross so if you want to share your skills, please let Gill know
