News - January 2010

It’s never too late to be changed, equipped and encouraged!

We’re delighted to announce that there is still space at this year’s New Word Alive, 13th – 18th April 2010.

We have a wonderful programme lined up that promises to bring great teaching and relevant training, as well as a high quality children’s and youth work.

Extra On-Site Units

Having been ‘sold out’ on-site, we now have some units available for you to join us at this year’s event. Our bookings line will reopen at 9am on 27th January 2010. Call Haven on 0871 2301911 to make your booking.

Event Passes

If you prefer you could stay in local off-site accommodation that you book yourself, and then buy event passes which gives you full access to the NWA programme as well as the Haven facilities on our site. B&B prices start from £25 and a self catering cottage from £400 for 6 people. Many have found this to be a great way to combine an inspiring event with a relaxing holiday. More information, including a list of local accommodation, and how to book your event passes are available.

On-line Forum

We have just launched an on-line forum on our website, which allows you to contact other guests who are coming to or who are interested in New Word Alive. For instance, the forum can be used to advertise or ask for spare accommodation. That way the empty room in your caravan will be used and others are able to attend the event and you share the cost. Similarly you can request or offer help with travel, give tips for getting the most out of the event, share advice on how to organise a group and so on. Visit the forum.

Lastly one reminder,

Occupancy Information

Haven also need to know your occupancy information – the names and ages of those in your units. That information is a great help to us as well, as it allows us to know how many children are coming and so how many helpers we need and so on. So please do pass it on to Haven when you make your final payment. We will send out an update next month giving more detailed information about the programme so you are able to start thinking about what you might attend at the event and how God might change you this year. 

What are the Forums?

We have just launched the on-line Forums on the New Word Alive website, which allow you to contact other guests who are coming to the event. We have had an equivalent of forums on Facebook, but not everyone is a Facebook fan. The new Forums allow anyone to access and post messages and all from within our own website.

What can I use them for?

One way the Forums can be used is to advertise or ask for spare accommodation. That way the empty room in your chalet can be filled and others are able to attend the event and you share the cost. Or you can request or offer help with travel, give tips for getting the most out of the event, share advice on how to organise a group and so on. Check the categories for other ways to use the Forums.

How do I use them?

You can view the Forums without a login, but to post a message you will need to register. It is a separate password from the one you use to buy event passes or media. It should only take a moment or two to register. All you need to do is enter an email, a username, and a password and you will be ready to start posting.
