Southlands at Rowntree Park

Southlands takes stand at Rowntree Park Birthday Party SOUTHLANDS offered two free children’s challenge events from its stand at the Rowntree Park Birthday Party in mid-July. There was a good crowd at Rowntree Park, despite overcast skies, occasional showers and competition from York Races, and the stand attracted a fair bit of interest from children and adults. One of the events was a Tower Building challenge run by Children and Families Worker John Hattam in which wooden blocks were used to build a single column. More than 50 children took part, competing against the clock. The other was a Marbles challenge, run by Junior Club leader Bob Lawrence in which 33 children tried to see who could place most marbles in their hand. Some adults also had a go at the two challenges. Sweets and leaflets about the church’s activities and groups were also given away from the stand. Results.- Kids Tower Challenge: 1, Manon Ingham (23 bricks, 1min 10sec); 2, Anthony Willsher (22 bricks, 1min 26sec); 3, Harvey Foyer (19 bricks, 1min 50sec). Best young adult: Caleb Myers (21 bricks, 1min 5sec). Kids Marbles Challenge: 1, Anna Siddall (38 marbles); 2, Luke Prenty (31); 3, Adam Kane (27). Adults (including young adults) Marbles Challenge: 1, Kane Heald (50 marbles); 2, Calum Robertson (46); 3, Cavern Vardy (33). Note: This item added to the website on Saturday, 14th July, 2012.
