One Hundred And One Things

What's this about? Why do I want to do it?

I stole this goal (along with a couple of others) from 101 of a Wolf, who says:

Square Mile Living involves drawing a square around where you live and then exploring what resources you actually have in your square mile. It aims to give you a way of exploring your neighbourhood, helps you discover local businesses to support and puts you directly in touch with your immediate community.

Which I think would be a very good thing for me to do. I work and worship in Guildford, ten minutes down the railway line; I'd like to feel more connected to Woking.


How will I know I've done this?

I'll have walked down all the streets within my square mile, and have listed the facilities within that area.


I'll record this in posts in this journal.

What's this about? Why do I want to do it?

I moved to Woking a year ago, but I'm still commuting to church in Guildford, where I previously lived. That's not likely to change soon, as I'm in the choir and on the PCC at Guildford, but I'd also like to get more involved in my local community. In my experience, finding a local place of worship is a good way to start. The two denominations I have the closest links with are the Church of England and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Since I might not get on with either of the local groups in those denominations, I'll try one more.


How will I know when I've done it?

I'll have attended a service at St Mary of Bethany Church, a Meeting for Worship with Woking Friends and one other religious service in the Woking area.

This can't be combined with goal 1 (become a Mystery Worshipper and review three services) for the simple reason that, if I decided to attend one of these on even a semi-regular basis, I would feel very uncomfortable posting such a public review.


I'll record this in posts on this journal.
