It was a glorious sunny summer's afternoon on Thursday 7 September when 29 guests set sail on the MS Koulla for a sunset cruise from Latchi Harbour to the Blue Lagoon. Swimming was followed by a deckside BBQ, returning to port as the sun went down. €125 was also raised for church funds. Why not join us next year for this fun event? MINI GOLF - Saturday 24 June For more images of this event please see Galleries or click HERE. We had a good turnout for the Mini Golf and Buffet Supper. It was a very enjoyable afternoon and successful fundraiser, with €260 raised. Chrissie Peach won the Ladies Trophy and Jim Preston the Gents Trophy (see photos). For those interested in statistics, a 'Hole in One' was recorded by Terry Dirienzo with two, Adrian Hamilton also with two and Hilary Burge, Russel Matthews, Linda Moran, Jim Preston all scoring one each - well done. Had the 'wooden spoon' for the highest score been presented this year, the contender scored well over 100! Better luck next year.

The theatre was almost full with the audience enjoying some excellent talent – professional and amateur, both as individuals and groups.
Chris Andre was magnificent, playing and singing with his guitar and also playing his ‘fiddle’ and Caz Hill a very talented young lady from the UK sang both popular and classical songs. The show also featured young dancers, a monologue, duets, soloists, the Harmony choir and Spellbound, a Ladies Barber Shop chorus. There were ‘audience participation’ activities including ‘Sing-a-long’s’ with songs from the Old Time Music Hall, the Carpenters, and traditional Golden Oldies. The church usually selects one charity each year and carries out activities to raise funds. This year we are supporting three smaller charities they are: The Alzheimer Group, Paphos branch; The Regional Volunteer Association, Polis District; and The Learning Refuge all who help those who are sick, hungry, homeless or in need of support including completing Government forms and learning new skills so that they can find work. The raffle held on the night, with prizes donated by local businesses and individuals, coupled with the proceeds from ticket sales, raised in total some €3,100 which will be shared between the church and the three charities. We would like to thank all those who took part or helped in any shape or form but especially the people who bought tickets, came, and participated. Ann Bailey, Show Producer |
