St Mary's, Warwick
Saint Mary's Youth Group (SMYG) meets fortnightly on Tuesdays, from 7 till 9, at the St Mary's Social Centre which is next to the church. We have been running for two years now. We were initially formed for the confirmation candidates of our parish but now we are available to anyone, from year six upwards. We take part in fundraising events in the parish and also hold our own, created and organized by the members. We have a very informal friendly meeting. These give the members the opportunity to express their own feelings and discuss them with other people. We have organized several special events, all of which have been thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who attends. We have been on a local "hike`n`chips", been bowling, and we have arts and crafts as well. We make Christmas decorations, and make models using all sorts of different materials. We also slept in cardboard boxes and raised money for the homeless as one of our events and we all had a very good time. We are hoping to organize a trip to laser quest in the near future.
