Quidditch on The Sands on Sunday
'In the fantasy world of the Harry Potter novels and movies, Quidditch is a magical competitive sport in involving flying contestants. Matches are played between two teams of seven players riding flying broomsticks, using four balls: a Quaffle, two Bludgers, and a Golden Snitch. Six ring-shaped goals are situated atop poles of different heights, three on each side of the pitch. It is an extremely rough but very popular semi-contact sport, played by wizards and witches. In the Wizarding World of the Harry Potter universe, Quidditch has a fervent fan following.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quidditch

Orthodox Church of St Cuthbert and St Bede
The Orthodox parish of St Cuthbert and St Bede in Durham began in the autumn of 1996 as an initiative led by students and academic staff at Durham University. At that time, the nearest Orthodox parishes were in Newcastle and Middlesbrough, with services conducted almost entirely in Greek.
