Desert Island Discs
Saturday 17th May
The first social event to be held in the newly
developed dual purpose area of the church was our version of
Desert Island Discs. This event was attended by 36
members and friends.
An excellent sit down dinner was
prepared and cooked by Mrs. Angela Corbett and Mrs. Pat
Stapleton. After dinner Mr. John Corbett, our Church
Secretary, made a special presentation of a set of garden
furniture to our minister and his wife, Nola. This was
in recognition of all the hard work they had contributed to
the church over the years and in particular to mark the very
special occasion of the completion of the major work that had
been carried out recently.
The castaway for the evening was Mr. Peter
Stapleton, who shared with us some of his chosen music and
related many stories of his life's journey. Mr. Tom
Rainey presented the programme. The excellent
decorations which were created and provided by Mrs. Diana
Rainey included a back-drop of a fishing net, hammock,
treasure chest and palm tree. There were even monkeys,
bananas and coconuts in evidence and the presenter and
castaway sat in deck chairs and wore shorts, sandals and
socks!!
The evening was rated as a great success and
our minister, The Rev'd Angus McCormick, thanked everyone for
their efforts.
