Members of our own Catholic Women's League joined together with other Clifton Branch Members to sing 'Camptown Races' alongside the Cardiff Branch at the National Conference in Warwick University last week.
Deacon John Scanlon filmed the fun during the 2 day conference.

40 Years of Scouting & Guiding at St Augustine's. Congratulations!
On the
Saturday in perfect weather conditions, a coachload of our beavers, cubs,
scouts, guides & leaders set off very early for a daytrip to Brownsea
Island in Poole Harbour. Brownsea Island is a nature reserve owned by the
National Trust but is also a very special place for scouts & guides as it
is where Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the scout movement, held the first
scout camp in 1907.
Following
that camp, the Scout Movement grew steadily in size soon to be followed in 1910
by the creation of the Guide Movement by his sister Agnes Baden Powell. Since
then both movements have expanded worldwide so that by today there are now scouts
& guides in 224 countries making it the largest youth movement in the
world.
When we
got to Brownsea, we split up into our units to explore & enjoy ourselves on
this peaceful island. We all met up again at lunchtime at The Scout Stone which
is a monument that commemorates that first camp & had our picnic lunch together.
Then it was off exploring again until it was time to catch the ferry back to
Poole Quay but not before the ferry first took us on a cruise around Poole
Harbour which was most enjoyable in the warm sunshine.
The treats
were not over yet however. Tanya, our cub leader, had booked in advance with
the local Fish & Chip shop & very soon after getting back off the ferry
everybody was tucking into either fish & chips or sausage & chips
whilst sat on the wall on Poole Quay. Then it was time to get back onto our
coach to come home. A truly wonderful day had been had by all.
Not so Young - out and about again!
The members of our intrepid Not-So-Young Club enjoyed their Autumn outing to the Cotswolds, in glorious sunshine on Wednesday 10th September. They had a lovely day visiting Bourton-on-the-Water followed by a short visit to Broadway.
