Next club details to be advised

Little Waltham Holiday Club have been on a "JUNGLE JAMBOREE" (See Holiday Club Page for photos).

C U D stands for Christian Understanding and Development.
We are about 20/25 Christians who attend two URC chapels in Little Waltham & Chignal Smealy, North and West of Chelmsford. CUD is a home group that meets every two weeks to develop our understanding in a very informal relaxed setting.
We are split into two groups these days due our swelling numbers, so we have:
1. Broomfield & Little Waltham
and
2. Villages (Gt. Leighs, Howe Street, Great Waltham, Pleshey etc)
Our evenings usually go like this:
7.45 for 8.00pm Arrive
8.00pm to 9.00pm Speaker or topic leader interspersed with guest speakers with a different slant on Faith. The group usually engages in discussion, question and answers etc
Approx. 9.00pm Prayer time
Approx. 9.15 Break for tea/coffee and chat
Approx. 10.00 close.
For more information please contact Mike Crouch on 01371 821986 or Peter Dowse on 01245 360341.

Coffee or Tea + biscuit all for 50p per cup. There are also usually lots of goodies to buy: homemade cakes, plants, books etc. with lots of talking and catching up on community life. OPEN TO ALL.

We usually meet on the last Saturday of the month at the URC car park for a 10.00am start.

Saturday 26th June 2010 saw just nine of us set off through the village along Brook Hill and up Church Hill to Sheepcotes Lane. We walked through the farmyard along the footpath to the bend where we turned north west coming out eventually by the Grasshopper garage on the A131 Braintree Road. Already spotted in the hedgerow were White Bryony - a climbing plant, Bellbind - lovely pinky-white "bells" near to the ground and lots of poppies in most of the fields. The weather was superb with a gentle breeze keeping us cool and making the fields of barley look like waves on a green ocean. After crossing the main road we called in at the "Windmill" Chatham Green for refreshments where Elaine made us very welcome. On for a short distance along the Essex Way and then the lefthand footpath brought us out at Scurvy Hall Lane. We followed this all the way down to Chatham Hall Lane which took us back to Little Waltham. As we came to the end of the lane one of our party pointed out the parasitic plant Broomrape and also the mauve coloured Scabious. All in all a very pleasant walk finishing back at the village at about 12.45pm.
