Fifty people all from the Gloucester area met at Redcliffe College for the CEM, New Year dinner evening on Saturday 22nd January. An occasion which proved to be a very pleasant evening with wonderful company, good food, enjoyable music, story telling and a Morcombe and Wise sketch. The music was supplied by a Christian group from Coventry called "Fiction Fight." This group however included two young men from Gloucester, Chris Donald, son of our past Chairman Dr Ian Donald, on lead guitar and Nathan Leigh my son on keyboards. Nathan also performed a solo medley which 
was appreciated by all present. The story telling came from our two Glastonbury missioners Paul and Alistair. Regarding the Eric and Ernie sketch, Alex (third from the left in the picture opposite), Nathan and myself put our own interpretation on the Andra Previn sketch. it was fun to do! apart from the blunders which caused people to laugh even more at our inadequacy! It was very encouraging to have a Trustee and her husband from a newly supporting trust situated in Bristol as our guests, alongside many folk who have supported us from the first days of our existence back in 1994.

The four course meal which was provided by an outside restaurateur in Gloucester, was well received by all present.
In short a good evening was had by all, including the fellowship of meeting folk who we do not see too often.
Mr & Mrs Derek Sweet. Chairman, (facing) speaking with our special guests.We now look forward to 2011 to see what the LORD has in store for us in the coming ministry.
