June 22nd - 24th 2007 was our Pathfinder weekend.
 The plan was to take our youngsters to Beaudesert and camp from the friday until the sunday afternoon. Various activities were planned and all was set for a great weekend.
British weather being what it is, all the camp equipment was loaded on the lorry and transported in the pouring
rain to the site. On arrival, the camp site was water logged, it was still sheeting down and the forecast from the BBC Weather Centre was abysmal for the rest of the weekend, with loads more rain and lightening threatened.

The difficult decision was taken to abandon camping, and to take over Aldridge Parish Church to sleep and eat in.
A fresh programme of activities was swiftly planned, including trips to Sutton Park, and Star City for bowling and a cinema trip to see Shrek 3.
 
Apart from the church clock chiming on the hour, every hour throughout the night! a fantastic time was had by all and much is owed to the dedicated leadership team in averting was could have been a disappointing weekend.

Our grateful thanks to Matt & Gemma Wallace, Alison Trimmer, Dave Ford and Jon Callear for giving our youngsters an amazing time together.
