GRAND PRIX WINNERS was this year’s children's holiday club (for 5-11 years) organised by Upton Methodist Church which ran every morning from Monday 26th to Friday 30th July from 10 am till 12 noon. It was a week packed full of activities, music, fun and games.

Grand Prix' actually means 'Big Prize' and the biggest prize of all is to have a living relationship with God. Each day of the club we heard about different people from the Bible who did just this and how we can get to know God in different ways, as:

• Friend

• Guide

• Boss

• Servant

• Mender

All of this happened, of course in a Grand Prix race setting! Last year's Seaside Rock club proved hugely popular and Grand Prix Winners was even better supported with over 90 children there most days. 

Some of the daily highlights were:

• A range of cool craft activities with a racing theme

• A short DVD each day

• Scrummy racing biscuits (they didn't hang around for long!)

• The Memory Quiz

• Funky action songs

• Sooty and Sweep (and friends)!

• The Messy Bit - the all-new messy game that several brave people entered!

Last year’s holiday club was fully-booked within just a few days. This year's filled up even faster. 

It was a brilliant week which was enjoyed not only by the children who came along but also by the teenage and adult leaders who gave their time so willingly.

Thank you to everyone who took part in any way.
