If you are worried about meeting this commitment please speak to your local commissioner in the first instance.

Family evening in support of the Lightyear Foundation



This free family event is on Friday 14 October and is in support of the Lightyear Foundation and their Crowdfunder 'Race to Space'. The University of York Physics Department will be offering shows in their Cosmodome, tours of  their Astrocampus and lots of fun hands on activities, such as driving a mini space rover. The event is free to attend but donations are appreciated. The event is running from 6-9pm as a drop in session so people can arrive at any time. People will need to book tickets through their eventbrite page so they know the number of people planning to attend.

Autumn runs from October to December inclusive. Full details can be found here.

YAS will be happy to receive entries at the end of each season (with the  Autumn entries at the end of December).

Photographs must be submitted to the YAS email address

Lullaby Trust Carol Service

 

The Lullaby Trust has once again asked if we could support their Carol Service by providing Leaders to act as stewards on 18th December at 2pm in York Minster. A lovely start to Christmas supporting this very special charity. 
 
If you are interested please contact Judith Bellamy
