Running, Refugees, Food and Faith Event
Whether you’re local or just in Telford for the Methodist
Conference, you’re welcome to a relaxed Sunday evening at the
Oregano Project in Albrighton, set up both to make delicious
pizza and as a way of supporting refugee athletes.
Limited seating at Oregano means that booking is essential.
If you are unable to take up your place please let us know.
The event is free but you will pay for your own food and
drink. Turn up anytime from 6.45pm (we know that attendance
at ordinations may create delays). Order your pizza, tackle
the table quiz and find out who else is in the room. Around
8pm there’ll be an informal conversation between Inderjit, Jude
and Rachel about what running, sanctuary, food and faith mean to
them.
The Oregano Project is on Albrighton Station, WV7 3FD
Note that there is a train service between Telford and
Albrighton.
