Matt

MattHey, My name is Matt and I’m from Chesterfield.

I’ll be 19 in October. I went to St Marys RC High School in chesterfield along with Sinoia and Don. I studied Business, History, Theology and Ethics. I have an older sister who lives in Manchester and two parents.

I love music, my favourite artists at the moment range from Jack Johnson and James Morrison to Beyoncé and Chris Brown. I love all sorts of music, especially cheesy music. I play guitar, I started to learn as a child but never really took it seriously but then started to play again when I went to sixth form, so I’m still learning.

I also see my self as a film fanatic, I have a huge DVD collection. I am particularly obsessed with Lord of the rings and Harry Potter. My favourite film is either Fly Away Home or Transformers (random I know,) plus I’m always up for a bit Disney, I loved the animation of Robin Hood it was my childhood movie along with the Lion King.

I’m completely obsessed with Tennis, Roger Federer is my all time hero and I really want to go Wimbledon again. The two weeks when Wimbledon is on TV are my favourite two weeks of the year. For about a month afterwards I will get withdrawal symptoms.

I hope I haven’t bored you too much.

Looking forward to see you all on a retreat.

This was an awesome weekend, first off it was great to see some familiar faces and get to know you all a little bit better. I really enjoyed the sheer amount of games we played and I learnt a lot at the same time. I hope your confirmation goes well and that we meet again some day.

It was so cool having a full centre and sharing it with SYO was awesome because I was constantly trying to listen in. It all sounded amazing especially Pirates of the Caribbean.

Take care and God bless

Yo, What a great week, we seemed to cram sooooo much into such a sort space of time. What I really enjoyed was the peanut session despite being really cold, I was about to go on strike my self. A big shout out to mine and Beth’s group, by far the best and we all know that we won the map game because we got our balloon to Hannah first. Also all the adverts on the first night were hilarious and I think our dice were sold beautifully.

We really enjoyed the prayer journey evening because it was really chilled out and reflective and we could tell you all got something out of it.

Both walks were a lot of fun and the whole last evening with mass, disco and variety show was just so much fun.

Thanks to you all for a fab week.

This was a great weekend and I really enjoyed getting to know you all. It would have been cool if you had stayed longer because it was clear to see you were getting a lot out of it. Mass was amazing and all the role plays and prayers were great and afterwards the disco was a lot of fun.

God bless

Wow, this was an awesome week, I could tell you all got something out of it and I really hope you all enjoyed your first week retreat. A big shout out to my small group, you were amazing ‘the pigs in blankets with Yorkshire puddings’, maybe one of the strangest names I’ve had. You were a great group and I was impressed with just how enthusiastic, chatty and willing you were to through your self into everything.

One of the highlights had to be bowling and was definitely impressed with a lot of the bowling skills around. Unfortunately I came second to last. The variety show was just amazing and the disco was sooooo much fun because it was greta to see you all dancing and just enjoying yourselves.

Good luck and God bless

We crammed so much into such a short space of time. From the word go you made the most out of the experience. The minute movies were hilarious and a big shout out to my group bacause our twilight sketch was amazing. The whole weekend was brilliant and I really enjoyed getting to know all of you.
