only to find that it has given us the atomic bomb,

CHILDREN’S SUMMER CAMP – Each year the Diocese of East Anglia
organises a camp for children aged between 8 yrs and 14yrs. The camp
offers a mixture of faith and fun. Over the past years, many children from our
parish have attended these camps and enjoyed them so much they have re-
turned year after year. The camp this year will be held at Eccles Hall in Nor-
folk from Friday 28th August until Monday 31st August at a cost of £70 per
child. It would be a great experience for any child who is able to go. Please
contact Monica Macdonald as soon as possible for a booking
form or more information about the camp as bookings must be
in by 30th June at the latest.
CHILDREN’S PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM – This annual event
will take place on Tuesday 26th May. The pilgrimage begins with the proces-
sion led by the Bishop, from the village to the shrine for mass at 12.00 noon. It
may be possible to organise a coach or minibus if there are enough families
who would like to go.
Please speak to Monica ASAP if you are interested.

KSC GRAND NATIONAL DRAW.
You may have wondered why we had no winners or
even horses this year . The answer I am afraid that the all the counterfoils
from East Anglia were lost by the Post Office on their way to Glasgow .
Each council has been refunded the money sent on and we now have to deal
with the matter locally. If you have your tickets and would like a refund
please see John King or any KSC member and we will arrange this. Any
money not reclaimed will go to the KSC funds for charitable use.
KSC Members are reminded their meeting is this Thursday at
St. Felix 7.30pm and annual fees are payable .
BECOMING A SAINT
A disciple asked the Master what was the first requirement for becoming a
saint.‘You must be prepared to be ridiculed, ignored and starving until you
are forty-five.’ ‘What will happen when I’m forty-five?’
‘You’ll have got used to it.’
