Sim SweatShop





My brother Jonny has designed a fantastic website game called Sim SweatShop. Here's what it is about:

Sim Sweatshop is an online game based in a sports shoe factory.
Like many sweatshops across the developing world this factory is an example of how many workers are denied a reasonable living wage and workers rights. The audience is invited to play the role of a worker on the factory floor, tirelessly building sports shoes, in order to reach the daily targets, as the time counts down. Along the way, the player must remember to top up their energy by purchasing food and drink. As the game continues, they will be given further options such as "Do you want to start a Union", the decisions based on these questions will result in appropriate consequences.


Go over and have a play!!

Holiday Club







Last week was a fun if exhausting week [and I was only there for 3 of the 5 days!]. We ran a holiday club with NAYC in the Arbours school. It was a great time. Well run by Rhoda and the rest of the NAYC bunch. It was great to meet them all as well. It was great to get to know the kids better too =- it is so nice after a week like that when a child leaves in tears - because they didn't want to leave...

The topic was "superhero's". The reason for this post is mainly to show some amazing custume efforts by Michelle and Rhoda - fantastic! The last day was 'come as a superhero' day. If i remember rightly Rhoda was "super sombrero" and Michelle was "Super haircut girl" [or something like that!]. love it!

A New Innovation




Last Sunday was our CCN Family meeting at Parklands Community Centre. It was a great morning. Really fun to have some guests come along. And really great to be able to invite Pete Wiliams back [in fact Pete AND Mirriam ;o)]. I asked Pete to speak about "God's Heart for the Nations", which he did admirably.

Our particular innovation was to use Audacity to record the preach, and be able to save it as an MP3. Aren't we cool?!?!

If you want to listen download here: Pete Williams: God's Heart for the Nations [4.3 MB].

Weddings







Last Saturday was a bit of a wedding fest. Rhoda was at Michaels wedding in Northampton. Simon promised that there were many embarrassing photo's to be used, even from the holiday club. The Whites were at Julie and Ian's in Liverpool. I haven't heard about that one yet, but I am sure it was great - a shame not to be there. And we, the Norridge's, were at Sammi and Phil's in Southampton. It was a great wedding. A Fantastic celebration. Sammi's dad and mum run a pub so the reception was there with marquee, hog roast, free flowing refreshments, great band, sumo suits, amazing salads, loads of other grilled meat, fantastic olives, and a 1904 De Dion to take them around. Great fun ;o).
