Teams of Our Lady Gathering at Wonersh . . .

The Teams of Our Lady Gathering at St John's Seminary, Wonersh went very well on Saturday. After the overcast day at Aylesford, we had a lovely sunny drive down along the A25 to Wonersh. I always enjoy this drive whatever the weather, passing through lots of Surrey villages on the way; out beyond Dorking, past Abinger Hammer, Gomshall, then through Chilworth and beyond.

There were over 140 of us gathered from all over the Southern Region. The animating team had done a really good job on the organisational side and everything was in place when we arrived. Name badges, booklets, coffee and tea on tap and a delicious shared lunch. We were even treated to scrumptious home cakes at the afternoon tea break.

We had an excellent talk from Fr Tim Buckley CSsR on the theme of 'Passing on the Faith' which gave us all plenty to think about and discuss in our workshops. We had to miss the talk by Emily Davis from CASE later on as we left early to go and get ready for an evening 'do' elsewhere.
