DISTRICT BIRTHDAY NETWORK DAY
Our day was a success in the main with 100 ladies taking part . There were sadly no children despite all our efforts. The workshops in the morning of prayer walking, banner making, card makong, chime ringing and 20 years of Magnet were all well received. Our celebratory lunch and special cake went well. Then our celebratory service with speaker Margaret Sawyer the conexional secretary of Network was much appreciated, members gave remenisent stories of what Network had ment to them over the years. All in all a good day. I will have to think of another idea to attract young mums with their children, it seems many go away on holiday during this week now.
