Rivertown United Reformed Church

Rev Greg Thompson moved from Rivertown to the North East in September and some of us were delighted to go to South Shields and attend the blessing of their marriage. Adrienne and Greg extended an invite to Rivertown and this was one not to be missed. Twelve of us travelled to South Shields on Saturday 8th October and attended the blessing followed by a reception in the evening - lucky for us it was only across the car park from our hotel.

It was a special day for the happy couple and very enjoyable for us too!

One thing though - Greg was aware of the Spooners tradition of buying naff presents but had not told Adrienne. We always go to a lot of trouble to by the worst presents imaginable so we hope explanations are freely given before opening the parcels.

(PS Rivertown had already presented Greg with his real present!)

It was a privilege to be there and to represent Rivertown - we wish them both a long and happy life together.
