16 members attended the Tuesday Club today. It was good to see everyone face to face after so long.
It is Barry Miller‘s special birthday on Thursday, so a card and voucher was presented to him from us all.
A donation of £40 was given by Mike Goodfellow for Management Committee funds. Thank you, Mike.
Rev. Hannah Lewis came to tell us about changes with her job within the Deaf Church, and what it means for us at the Centre. Further details explaining about this will be added here soon.
The Centre re-opened yesterday for the first time in 18 months. 10 members of the Saturday Club met and played bingo. Two donations of £20 and £5 were given to Management Committee funds.
The Tuesday Club restarts this week on 7 September. Please note access is restricted to members only for the time being.
A programme of activities has been put together by the committees of both groups, and these can be viewed on our website and will be updated regularly. A printed copy will be available at the Centre as well.
It has been agreed by both Saturday and Tuesday Club to increase the entry fee from £1 to £2 to help raise much-needed funds.
Several measures have been put in place at the Centre to ensure everyone’s safety. Please follow the guidance that is on display and any information the Management Committee provides.
Further announcements about the Church and other groups will be given in due course.
The Management Committee decided this morning (17 March) to close the Centre until further notice. All groups who meet at the Centre will, therefore, not be running until such time it is safe to do so.
This is because of the coronavirus outbreak. It is important we try to consider the health and well-being of our members and visitors during this difficult time, and this is why we have taken this drastic step.
We will announce when the Centre re-opens, but we cannot guarantee when that will be at the moment. Please keep an eye on here for updates about that.
The Easter egg raffle draw was brought forward to today from 31 March. £93 had been raised. The winners were:
1st – Pauline Millington
2nd – Olwyn Shaw
3rd – Linda T. (Macmillan Singers)
4th – Pat O. (Macmillan Singers)
Thank you everyone. Please look after yourselves.
A big thank you goes to the Tesco Community Champion, Barbara Murray, for donating and bringing in some plates, soup bowls, a frying pan and a blender.
We had a bucket collection at Southport Football Club this afternoon and that raised £167. Thanks go to the collectors who braved the cold!
Shame Southport lost to Halifax Town though.
