In 2008, Churches Together in Keynsham and Saltford are organising a wide ranging and exciting programme for the whole community -
'More to Life 08'.

Recognising that God plays in every scene of life, 'More to Life 08' is seeking to discover spiritual signposts amidst the passions of life which engage people's hearts today.

Each month of the year will be devoted to a specific theme as detailed in the menu above.

John Barclay was born in 1954 in Bonn, West Germany, the son of a diplomat. A highly successful schoolboy cricketer at Eton, he first played for Sussex at the age of 16.

Two years later he joined the Sussex staff as a promising all-rounder, going on to captain the county from 1981 until 1986 when he retired.

John has also managed several England touring sides: • 1993 England U19 Tour Manager to Sri Lanka. • 1994 England ‘A’ team Tour Manager to India and Bangladesh. • 1995/6 England Tour Assistant Manager to Ray Illingworth in South Africa. • 1996 World Cup in India and Pakistan • 1996/7 England Tour Manager to Zimbabwe and New Zealand

John has been a member of the MCC Committee and for five years chaired the E.C.B. Cricket Coaches Association.

Today, he is Chairman of the Cricket Committee at Sussex County Cricket Club and President of the English Schools Cricket Association but the majority of his time is spent at Arundel where he is Director of Cricket and Coaching for the Arundel Castle Cricket Foundation. He is able to give young people from all parts of the country, some of them disabled or partially sighted and most of them from inner city areas, the chance to broaden their education and enhance their lives through cricket and coaching. To date, more than 250,000 youngsters have benefited from the scheme.
