CHRIST CHURCH: At last week's Thinktank meeting, Dr John Haigh of the University of Sussex made a presentation on Some (Easy) Mathematics in Everyday Life to a well-attended and appreciative audience. His talk covered topics such as money, prize lotteries, health, voting systems and sporting tournaments. The questions afterwards showed that there was genuine concern about voting systems where there were multiple candidates in democratic elections. Dr Haigh drew attention to some of the inherent mathematical difficulties in making reforms. This week's activities start with another Christ Church Tots session for pre-school children and their carers today (Friday) from 9.30am to 11.30am. Our Sunday morning service at 10.30am this week is led by Rev Peter Rayson, with a church walk to follow. On Wednesday there is a meeting of the Church Council to discuss various items of church business. On Friday July 14 at 1pm, there will be a Service of Thanksgiving for the life of Peter Cane, a much loved member of our congregation, who served the church in many different ways over a long period. We are still taking registrations for our annual Holiday Club which will be held over three days from Wednesday August 2 to Friday August 4, 10am to 12.30pm. The theme this year will be Polar Explorers and the Holiday Club is for children in Reception up to Year 6. The cost is £12 for all three sessions for one child and then £3 each for brothers/sisters for all three sessions. To register a place or for further details please email [email protected] or call 07516 715425.
