The skies were lit up in the Midlands on Friday 13th April 2007 as the Joshua Foundation’s 1st Lite the Nite in the region took place. Oz team members from across the region came together at the Queen and Castle Pub in the idyllic town of Kenilworth. Early arrivals enjoyed the fabulous menu on offer and as the participants arrived there was plenty of opportunity for 2007 and 2008 team members to get to know each other.This was assisted by Sarah Cornelius doing some warm up games which saw the participants having to play heads and tales!

As darkness fell the teams collected their illuminated balloons from the tent and the walk began! What a fantastic route around old Kenilworth! 2006 team members helped out with the marshalling and even a volunteer from Warwick University. Many of the particpants enjoyed the walk so much they went around again!

The evening was a great success and we would like to thank the management of the Queen and Castle for their support; the fabulous balloon company that saved us having to blow them all up and the St John’s team for making sure that Friday 13th was a lucky day for all of us. See you again next year Kenilworth.
