The aim of the Ladies’ Group is to demonstrate Christian love and provide opportunities for ladies to get to know each other, to make new friends and build up relationships. We aim to be fully inclusive and encourage ladies to invite and bring along their friends to share in the enjoyment and fun.
The current Ladies’ Group has been running since December 2021. We now meet bi-monthly, usually on a Thursday evening, and try to arrange activities to suit all ages. We have had a wide range of events, including a curry night, ten pin bowling, greens bowls with fish and chips, quiz night with nibbles, a picnic with live music from a saxophonist, bingo and pizza, our birthday celebration, 60/70’s night with popular music, quiz and foods of that era, a Pudding (dessert) night and a summer Fashion Show by ‘The Gap in the Market’ with a finger buffet. Our final event before the summer break was Barbecue foods and a music night with the St Peter’s Wellbeing Choir and a sing-a-long, with FUG’s (Feelgood Ukulele Group). As is always popular at Queens Road, nearly all our events involve food!
- Ladies Group 2023 Round Up!
The Ladies’ and Men’s Group combined for a joint afternoon activity in September when we joined the St Peter’s Village Tour. This was an interesting tour in which we learnt a great deal about St Peter’s village and life in the past, from our guide and the amazing volunteers that dressed up as different characters on route and gave us more historical information. If you have never been on the tour, we recommend you giving it a go.
September also saw the ladies go Ten Pin Bowling at Bugsy’s in Cliftonville. This was a great evening in which to have fun, competition and socialise. It was lovely just having time to chat with other ladies in a relaxed atmosphere.
In November, we had a Craft and Cake evening. This proved to be very popular, and the ladies were able to participate in a variety of Christmas activities ranging from paper craft, card making, sewing, making Christmas tree decorations, flannel craft and decorating bottles/jars for lights and night lights. For the first time in the history of the group, people were so engaged many didn’t even want to stop for food!!
Our next event is on Thursday 18th January 2024, which will be a Fun Bingo Night with Jacket Potatoes with a selection of fillings. For more details, please look out for the leaflets and sign up on the notice board outside the Worship Area.
We are thrilled to say that Liz Roberts has agreed to join our Ladies’ Committee. We look forward to working with Liz and her input which we know will be invaluable.

In September, we will be including an extra activity by combining with the Men’s Group to join the St Peter’s Village Tour on Thursday 7th September and then have our own event on Thursday 21st September when we will be going 10 Pin Bowling at Bugsy’s in Cliftonville, followed by a ‘getting ready for Christmas’, Craft Night on the 16th November. Please look out for the sign-up boards, flyers and posters with more details.
