St John's & King's Park Church
Yorkie

Yorkie is an informal opportunity for blokes to meet, have a blether and do the odd activity. Anyone is welcome whether you have a connection with the church or not. We meet on either the first or last Saturday of the month (unless it's a Friday night 'curry' and 'movie' that is!). Bring yourself and friend next time.

For more information on Yorkie please contact Norrie Kristoffersen (0131 663 6992).

Mandate

This annual event takes place on the 2nd weekend of November in Belfast. It is an opportunity for all men to take part in fellowship/worship and the fact that the number of SJKP participants has nearly doubled from 15 to 26 in the last few years is testament to a truly inspirational weekend.

For more information on attending this please contact Drew Stewart (07749748478).

They Say a Picture Paints a Thousand Words


This one is reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy somehow?! Captions welcomed for any of these!!!!!!!!!!!! Click on the pics to zoom in his face is good in this one.
As you can see Drew has had a few at this stage!







There is a suggestion that we do this twice a year as it is great fun! Just a wee point for the record books made possible because I'm the author......Eddie Sheret and YT are unbeaten for over a year. Challengers welcomed.
ps A couple of us did manage to move stoor aboot the kirk before hand. You know who you are! and finally apologies about the quality of photos....settings were wrong on me phone

Tough conditions at this years tourney means lack of records broken



Rugged terrain and near hurricane force winds led to high scores and weather beaten faces (as evidenced by the photographs below) last Saturday at King's Park. You can sense the pressure as the brave band of brothers enter the fray for another gruelling putting competition. Last years winner joins an already elite group who have baulked at defending their trophy due to unforseen circumstances. Alan Hall did an impressive job presenting Simon with the new imaginery trophy, although he did nearly drop it a few times!
The tournament was won with an impressive 41 ish for the last man standing and the first man sitting, pictured reclining below, managed a whopping 60 plus. Well done Neil!!

bools











What a fantastic day for hearing the thud of composition plastic bouncing off carefully nurtured turf. Many thanks to the groundsmen at Kings Park Bowling Green for the wonderful restoration job they will almost have completed since our recent visist.






I think it was universally agreed that bowls was a bit of a success and enjoyed by all despite some protesting joints and muscles. It may be we will have to seek a new venue annually given the damage to the playing surface etc but I am sure there are enough greens in the county to let us get away with it for a while. Definately one to be added to the fixture list.

4th July

Ok guys........ I know you're all on holiday but right now its me and Eddie Sheret for the "King of Bowls Trophy". We are trying to keep it quiet from young Thomson Brown (cause he's a bit of a player we hear) but if you fancy a wee game o bools its 9 at the Forge followed by 10 at the bowling green behind the Church. You just need shoes without a heel (aye Drew that includes your stillettos) trainers are fine!! Let me know if you can make it.
