Social Events

We hold regular social events.  In the past these have included :  Murder Mystery nights , quiz nights, barbecues, fellowship meals, cycle rides . They usually involve food in some form!  

Events coming up:
As is our custom in summer (August) we don't hold the midweek prayer meeting or homegroups but instead we have a variety of social events. This is a great opportunity to get to know others in the church and to invite friends along.

  Dear all,  we invite you to a French-themed evening with food and boules, 7pm Weds 5th August. This will take place chez nous,  6 Barrett Rise Malvern WR14 2UJ.  Food is being organised but please bring a drink, and if you can bring a collapsible chair that would be helpful.  Car parking can be tight at top of Barrett Rise but there is a car park at the bottom.

• Wed 12th Aug 5:30pm to 8:00pm - All Age BB/GA and MBC Eclipse Party (Angela Noble) at 17 Werstan Close. On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, the UK will experience a deep partial solar eclipse, with the Moon obscuring between 90% to 93% of the Sun. This will be the most significant solar eclipse visible from the British Isles since the total eclipse of 1999. For London & Cardiff: Begins at 18:17 BST, peak at 19:13 BST (~91% to 93% coverage). It finishes at 8:06pm.
  
  We have checked and we have a clear enough view west from our front grass, to see this eclipse. We will have some telescopes with solar filters for viewing, there will be a live stream from the royal observatory, we'll have a go at pinhole projection and I will buy some solar eclipse glasses.
  I will also put some baking potatoes in the oven and provide a variety of toppings. Volunteers for puddings appreciated. Please bring something to drink.
  
  This event will be open to BBGA families and I intend to invite the rest of the Close as well.
  Kind regards, Ange
