They all offered to go right to work. It helped to keep them going and awake. Here Clara is cleaning off shelves and dusting books. This old Victorian house gets dusty so quickly.
The guys went right to work scraping paint off the windows.




In the evening we had an evening talk with Ron Sider speaking, international peace and justice advocate and writer from North America. We began the evening with a meal that I catered at 6:30 PM followed by Ron presenting his thoughts on “Does nonviolent demonstration really work?” We had 32 people in attendance. This was outside of our usual Cross-Currents programme. Ed & Sue (lead Elder at our Church) knew that Ron was in the UK for a conference and approached him about speaking at the Centre. We had a full room as you can see.


The meal before the talk. It was set up to be a discussion topic and there was some good discussion.

So what do you feed such a large group and did you have some help with preparation?? Looks like a great evening!
