We spoke to some forty ladies of the Mothers Union at a combined meeting in Grange-over-Sands on 7th September.
We spoke to the entire student body, and many staff, of Giggleswick School, over the border in Yorkshire on 14th September. (In fact this was not with PowerPoint, as when we arrived no one could find the screen which should have been in the Chapel, but wasn't! So the two of us just spoke briskly for the allotted 11 minutes!)
And we got a good reception from the Ulverston Parish Fellowship on 5th October.
On the 7th October we are to speak to the children, parents and friends of Warcop Primary School at their "Celebrate Creation!" festival in Musgrave Church.
All of these engagements result in donations, either at the time or subsequently, for which we are very grateful.
BNI: Another interesting pair of meetings was with the two Kendal BNI groups - which I think stands for Business Network International; I was invited to this networking organization for businessment not to ask for donations, but to mention (for 60 seconds!) the forthcoming Photographic Exhibition; one kind roofer has promised £50 sponsorship.
Photographic Exhibition
The Preview of the Exhibition in Kendal Parish Church is very close now (13th October), and acceptances from guests still trickle in - we had three this week, now totalling over 70.
Carol Allen Storey, the photographer, has been invited into two local secondary schools (Dallam and Kirkbie Kendal) to speak to various student groups - arts, geography, sociology - on the Friday.Carlisle Cathedral
The Exhibition will also be mounted in Carlisle Cathedral in March 2012; we went up there this week to check on the venue and the display boards they can offer us.
