Want to keep playing?

The Cross Touch tournament might just be once a year but loads of us play socially every week in Wandsworth Common, Regent’s Park and Hyde Park. For details of these and other regular games further afield check out http://www.touchbaseuk.org/find-a-game/. There’ll also soon be photos of the day on the website but we’ll let you know when their up.

Feeling sore?

A huge thank you again to Nathalie, Natalie and Sue who used their osteopathy and sports massage skills to keep many of us running around. Their work details are attached so get in touch if you missed out on the day or need more help getting back to your sporting peak.

They gave their time for free and through your donations we were able to raise over £110 for a charity called Adventure Plus (www.adventureplus.org.uk) which runs outdoor pursuit holidays for kids from tough backgrounds.

Lost property

Call Chris on 07890 455790 if you’re missing any of these: Black Umbro shorts, small red rucksack (with Jessica Scott written on), green Regatta waterproof, green Eurohike water bottle, Samurai Rugby ball.

Thoughts?

Let us know if there’s things you’d like to see at the next Cross Touch tournament – bouncy castle has already been mentioned! Also if Ali’s talk got you thinking I’d recommend getting yourself on a Christianity Explored (www.christianityexplored.org) or Alpha (www.alpha.org) course as they’re great places to chat stuff though.

Congrats to the winners and if you didn’t win get training and you might beat them next year!

Cheers

The Cross Touch 09 team

But not for long. Taste of London is taking over Marylebone Green (where we normally play) for the next 3 weeks so we will be relocating! Instead we will be playing on Cumberland Green. (Click here for a map) To find it, you walk up the avenue on the other side of the children’s playground towards the centre of the park, cross over the road (Chester Road), pass the Cow and Coffee Bean café (and toilets) and we will be playing on the right. We will aim to start at 11am. The weather is looking good for Saturday (better than all this week!) so look forward to seeing lots of people there! Afterwards, as usual, we will finish up at The Mason’s Arms for a drink and a bite to eat.

We’ll be offering coaching sessions for people wanting to learn to play the beautiful game. The TheBigChurchDayOut will be something special. Sure it will be a great festival alternative; with one of the last ever UK appearances from Delirious as well as Michael W Smith, Israel Houghton and New Breed, Graham Kendrick, YFriday, Lou Fellingham, Cathy Burton, and The Kings Chamber Orchestra with many more still to be added. And the location – the beautiful country home of Wiston House in West Sussex – the perfect backdrop for a perfect family day out.
