CKERS YOUTH GROUP - activities | programme | Roller Skating At Ckers Sunday 19 May Cancelled - posted 08 May 2013
It's a shame but we're having to cancel the roller skating that was scheduled for the 19th May. A combination of other groups, work and personal commitments mean that none of us can make it and it's not practical to hand it over for one session to any other volunteers.
We'll look to rearrange this for later in the year, as it was looking to be a popular event.
Many many apologies, see you in June.
Andrew, Rachael, Jo and Rachel.
Roller Skating At Ckers Sunday 19 May - posted 03 May 2013 May 19th - Roller Skating. 4:30-6:00 at Brackley Leisure Centre (£4). Skates will be provided, we plan to have music and skating games form part of this session.
For next month's CKERS Rachael and Jo are away so in order for the session to go ahead we really require some parents to stay with us at Brackley Leisure Centre. This shouldn't be much more involved than having a cup of tea whilst keeping an eye open to make sure no-one's doing anything too silly, getting them involved in some games and maybe helping with the music.

It's CKERs time! This Sunday, 24 March, we have hired Brackley Pool for use just by the CKERs. If you've been to a birthday party there on a Sunday afternoon then you'll know what to expect. Floats, inflatables, etc.
The water will be available to us from 4pm for one hour, so arrive early so there is time to sign in and get changed. We will make sure that they do not leave the building, the life guards will be responsible for them 'water-side'. After they're changed they'll be time for a quick snack before you take them home.
We MUST HAVE a completed activity form or they will not be able to attend. Please print and complete the attached, and bring it along on the day. If you require it in another format, please let me know. We will have some available on Sunday, but to save on time and confusion they really should be completed before you arrive.
Can we also remind you all that this month CKERs is £4, to go towards the cost of hiring the pool. Since it's just us in the pool, and we're nowhere near capacity, if you have a friend who'd like to come along as a one-off, please feel free to bring them along. As long as they're in at least year 5 and they've got the form and the £4 they are more than welcome!
Thanks, Andrew, Rachael, Jo & Rachel Andrew Hart (01295) 760130 Ckers Resume On 27 January - posted 15 January 2013 Hi all,
Happy 2013! Despite some stumbles late last year, CKERs is back and will be running monthly through 2013. We've sorted the programme until the summer holidays. More details will be forthcoming closer to each event but the click programme so you can book the dates in your diaries.
Sessions are £2 unless specified, all parents *must* complete a registration form before their children can attend. or from me (email to ask). For events where we leave the village parental permission forms will also be needed. These are a compulsory legal and insurance requirement and without a form your child cannot attend. We are pleased to say that Rachel Wheeler is now part of the CKERs' organisation team. So from Andrew, Jo, Rachael and Rachel we'll see you soon.

(01295) 760670 Is This The End For The Ckers - - posted 25 April 2012 Dear Parents (and all those interested in saving an important Helmdon youth group)
Vicky, Richard and I are stepping down as CKERS Leaders, in July, after 3 years. Unfortunately only 1 person has come forward following our plea to find new leaders. Some of you have very kindly offered to help out at sessions but there really needs to be a main core of at least 3 people to organise the activities that run from September to July. It may be that CKERS only hold sessions once a month rather than every other week. We have certainly found it difficult to do this due to so many other commitments. It would be very sad if CKERS folds after July, especially as it has been going for over 11 years now. If any of you are willing to help PLEASE contact me in the next few weeks. Vicky, Richard and I have had such fun over the last 3 years, almost as much fun as your children! So don't see it as a chore, see it as a chance to make a difference while having a bit of a giggle!! What will we do without 'Helmdon's Got Talent? Your children will be makng a mess in YOUR kitchen instead of making pizza's at CKERS! Who will take them rock climbing? Are you ever going to walk through Whistley Woods at night again? They'll get popcorn all over your lounge rather than at a CKERS Film Night! OK, OK, I shall stop begging now and hope that someone comes forward...please! Regards Becky Leitelmayer (01295) 760670 Report from Spring Talkabout - posted 1 May 2010 The CKERS Youth Group is open for children/youths from Year 5 upwards. We run under the umbrella of the church and meet on alternate Sunday evenings. Currently we have over 25 members.
This year we have enjoyed a good variety of events including games nights (we have table tennis and air-hockey tables at the church), 10-pin bowling, a night hike, rounders, roller staking, a bike ride and BBQ.
Our big event in the summer was a trip to Aerial Extreme at Willen Lake to pit ourselves against the high wires courses. The obstacles included rope swings, zip wires, swinging logs and tight ropes all between 4m and 14m above the ground.
We are grateful to both the Church and HYHO for their continued support for the group.

Hello to everyone; firstly a big well done to all who took part in our own ‘Helmdon’s Got Talent’, both the performers and everyone who supported them.
General reminder - please remember to bring your £1 subs for each meeting - it helps us to pay for the activities/refreshments. Andrew Rimmer (01295) 768603 e-mail T Report from Autumn Talkabout - 5th November 2008 The CKERS youth group is for children in Year 5 and above and meets on alternate Sunday evenings in term time. The group is supported by the Church and we aim to include a variety of activities in our programme whether it is a game of rounders or a night hike in Wistley Wood.
This year we enjoyed food evenings - pizzas and pancakes (separate dates!), quiz and games nights and rounders/volleyball on the school field. Out and about we’ve been to the cinema, 10 pin bowling and our trip to Avon Dasset Country Park for kite flying was perfectly timed for the windiest evening in June. The annual night hike in Wistley Wood saw teams of 5/6 navigating to checkpoints around the wood and completing challenges at each one. Our final event before the summer break was a bike ride and BBQ; the older group went to Moreton Pinkney and back and the rest went to Weston.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank HYHOs for their generous support in funding games equipment and activities for the group.
We re-start on the 7th September with rounders and games on the school field then on the 21st September its ‘Helmdon’s got Talent’ at the Church.
If you would like more information on your child joining CKERS please contact Andrew Rimmer:

Term's Activities - September 2005
Youth Group Going Strong - December 2003 Ckers is continuing to go from strength to strength with the youngsters enjoying various activities from quizzes to a Wizard's evening and Fireworks. There is also the opportunity for the older group to socialize in the Chapel. We are very grateful to the Carnival Committee who have generously presented us with £100. This will go towards funding our events and providing craft materials and games for us to use with the youngsters. Waterworks Bring & Buy Sale - 1st March 2003
After a busy afternoon in the Baptist Chapel the CKers had raised £290.15 for the charity. Blue Peter says "The original target was £500,000! Enough money to pay for pumps and equipment to help 74 villages in Uganda and Tanzania and transform the lives of 30,000 people, giving them clean safe water for the rest of their lives." Events like the CKers Bring & Buy sale helped Blue Peter not only reach their target but exceed it - the total raised so far stands at £1,078,554. The CKers would like to thank everyone who supported them. Links In This Section >>> Blue Peter web site Waterworks Appeal |
