October - Month of the Holy Rosary

Film Night: We watched the film "The day the sun danced".

Cinder Toffee

Every year Hull fair, one of Europe's largest travelling fun fairs comes to Hull and it's a major event for young people in Hull. One of the youth asked if we could mark the visit of Hull fair by making Toffee Apples at youth group but everybody knows the trouble with toffee apples is after you eat the toffee you have to eat an apple as well (some kind of parental ruse).

So... We made cinder toffee instead.

Cinder toffee is mostly made of sugar (shhhh! don't tell the parents!)

After boiling up sugar, butter and golden syrup in a pan you add vinegar and bicarbonate of soda which fizzes up and causes the bubbly goodness.

Yum!
I would like to tell you that we finished the evening with a profound moral lesson based upon the experience of making cinder toffee but we played ping pong instead!

St Therese of Lisieux

Dispite it being Hull Fair week several of the younger group turned up for youth club. The week before many of our older youth went to see the relics of St Therese Lisieux in Middlesbrough so it seemed appropriate for one of the older group to give a talk about St Therese and the trip to see the relics.





It was not only a good talk but he also answered questions about St Therese and relics really well.

Naturally there was plenty of time for games, and once they were all sugared up and tired out we sent them home.
