Just under 600 children through the LIFE Expo this week – exhausting but fun!
Great to finish off with 5 classes (150 kids) from Sarisbury Green Junior School.
Just this evening to go and it’s bye, bye LIFE Expo until it returns in the summer.

Full on day today at the LIFE Expo – 5 classes of up to 30 children kept the team busy – encouraging comments from the teachers in the Visitors Book.
(apologies for blurred faces – school requirement – but at least the photos give you a flavour of what we are up to).

It is hosted by St. John’s Church, Locks Heath, Southampton, Hants. It is an inter-Church project run by the Western Wards Church Network

A good evening at ‘The Net’ an event for men! Although I only managed to attend the last part due to running the LIFE Expo, it was good to see a full room (thirty men) and hear the ‘buzz’ of conversation.
Thanks Andy Robinson for sharing your dramatic story!

Day one of the LIFE Expo!
Great to have pupils from Park Gate Primary School filling the venue this morning and some evening visitors, who as you can see are concentrating hard!

Limited photos this week due to schools photo policies and of course, we are conscience that the general public don’t like ‘media intrusion’.

The exhibition is open to the General Public each evening: November 9th-13th (7.00pm to 9.00pm).
It is hosted by St. John’s Church, Locks Heath, Southampton, Hants. It is an inter-Church project run by the Western Wards Church Network
