Members have been busy both in and outside the centre over the past few months. We celebrated Chinese New Year with a week of lunches followed by a week of pancake making to cover Shrove Tuesday. As usual, the ‘chefs’ enjoyed helping prepare the ingredients and along with the remainder, eating the finished products! There have been many birthdays celebrated, including Donna, Brian, Chris and Emma’s.
Several members went to Killerton House to take photos for ideas towards a project named ‘Blossom Poetry Bomb’. As you can see, those that went had a great time.
The raised beds and greenhouse have been weeded in preparation for this year’s planting, and inside the usual activities plus others have been taking place. Junk modelling, making robots, proved popular as well as the usual arts and crafts.
We have said a fond farewell to a cohort of students from Exeter College and welcomed several more for the next few months-we hope they enjoy the experience. Also, we said goodbye to Julie, one of our long standing members, who has now moved to Liverpool.
A group of drama students from Exeter University ran three sessions for those members that wished to take part. The hard work by all will culminate in a final ‘performance’ this Monday. Thank you to all the group for making a positive impact on the members-they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Walking football numbers are on the increase-the last session saw eighteen players showing off their silky skills!
As we move towards April, we have a week of making pizzas to look forward to and hopefully a trip to the Donkey Sanctuary.
