Spring Gathering of Pilgrims
Details
Please gather with past and future pilgrims for our Spring Gathering! For those embarking or thinking about going on their first Camino, this is a great opportunity to meet folks, ask questions, and learn all about the Camino de Santiago. This event is being generously hosted by group members Allan (CWBuff) and his wife Laurie.
The gathering will be pot-luck style, please see the list below to know what to bring!
If your last name begins with:
- A - H you are asked to bring a dessert
- I - Q you are asked to bring a a beverage (wine, beer or soda)
- R - Z you are asked to bring tapas, a salad, or other food item
We'll also have a few other things on the agenda:
- Shell Ceremony - receive a Pilgrim blessing and shell to be placed on your backpack for your upcoming Camino trip
- Camino Packs - a few of our seasoned pilgrims will bring their actual Camino packs for you to peruse through and try on. Learn what others bring but also keep in mind that everyone's pack is different and unique to them.
- Camino Book Lending Library - Anyone that is interested can bring a book to add to our lending library, or borrow a book and return it to the next Gathering for a future person to enjoy!
- Gear Swap - We will continue to have a table available where folks can leave items they no longer use or want. One persons "trash" is another treasure!
We may ask for a small contribution of $2 - $4 per person to help offset the costs for space rental and supplies.
The location is:
Clubhouse - Forrest Ridge Condo Association
300 Beech Blvd
Warrington PA 18976.
