As no member of SISC lives more than 7 miles from the sea, we decided to brave the elements and swim in the sea.( Well it is July and the beginning of the School Holidays!) 6 heroic, or foolhardy, members decided to bob about in the swell of the sea at Abersoch, encouraged by non-swimming members and the thought of the excellent picnic that had been provided as a reward.  For once this outdoor event was not rained off although there had been a violent thunderstorm in the early hours of the morning!   Money raised by this event will go to the Birthing In the Gambia project, which helps provide perinatal care for women and their babies in Gambia.

About 20 SISC members, together with friends and partners had an excellent evening  on their club “outing” to Pant Du Vineyard at Penygroes.  We had a guided tour of the vineyard together with a very interesting commentary  on its development over the past 6 years. This was followed by a light supper with samples of the cider, which they also produce. Most members took the opportunity to purchase and sample the Red, White and Rose from the vineyard. It was a very pleasant evening and for once we were blessed with excellent weather! (Maybe because 2 retired Vicars were present!)

 Race for Life Recently members of our club took part in the Race for Life. At the end of this “gruelling” 5km they enjoyed an excellent lunch at a local Restaurant, sadly replacing the  calories they might have lost during the event. However they managed to raise over £1300 for Cancer Research UK.

SISC Choir For the past few years we have been Carol Singing at the Local Care Homes. Recently at the request of the Residents and Staff, we sang again – this time a mixture of War time Songs, Hymns and traditional Welsh songs. We are hoping to make more regular visits in the Future
