In addition to our annual Summer Camp at Llandudno in May, we also held a Joint Summer Camp with 1st Kidderminster in July. We were originally planned to return for the second time to the Far Forest Centre (shown right) in the Wyre Forest, where we held our Easter Camp for the first time this year - however the Centre was not available at the time. Instead we held the Joint Summer Camp at Milton Hall Baptist Church, the home of 1st Kidderminster.
