On Thursday 15th July, it was the last week of GroundBreakers for the term, and so it was party night, with a murder mystery to solve (Who killed Carl Crusty), as well as games and food galore!
We also said farewell to Katelyn, Abbi, Samantha and Charlotte, who are now too old for the group, but are part of Youth@BPC.
GroundBreakers restarts in September and there are a few spaces available, so if you or someone you know is aged 7 to 11 years, and would be interested, please book a place by contacting us.
