It’s the end of an era. After many, many years the Saturday Morning Club has closed down. Their last session was on 2 July.
We would like to say a very big thank you to Peter, Katie, Helen, and others, who have been running the Saturday Club over the years.
The page for the Saturday Club has now been removed from our website.
Tuesday Club and Sign Right will continue as usual.
Rev. Hannah Lewis has been in contact to inform us of the sad news Rev. Frank Naylor has passed away. He was chaplain at St Helens Deaf Centre and later for the whole of Liverpool diocese (including Southport) for over 25 years.
Frank was also made a Canon of Liverpool Cathedral in recognition of his service, and after retirement in 2006 had a ministry there for some years.
No funeral details are available at the moment.
Hope 2022 will be a better year for everyone.
The Management Committee is aware Covid cases have risen over the festive period. We are monitoring the situation, but for now, the Centre will reopen as usual next week.
If any member feels unwell or tests positive for Covid, we would advise you to stay at home.
The Tuesday Club will be having their AGM on 11 January as planned.
If things change, please keep an eye on here for any updates.
The Tuesday Club had their Christmas meal at the Centre yesterday. Everyone enjoyed the food superbly presented by Tomlyn Caterers.
Mike Goodfellow made a generous donation of £150 instead of giving out individual Christmas cards. Thank you, Mike.
The draw for the Christmas hampers took place after the meal, and the winners are listed opposite. Thank you to Dorothy Caven for organising this fundraiser on behalf of the Management Committee.
14 members attended the Tuesday Club this morning. We had a game of Play Your Cards Right with Mavis Husbands as host. Quite a few laughs were had, and the cards were definitely against us and Mavis!
We celebrated a belated birthday of one of our members, Brenda Osborne, who turned 85 in August. Brenda received a card and flowers.
David Salisbury donated £6.02 to the Management Committee from 1p and 2p coins he has been saving. Thank you, David.
Also added to MC funds today was £7.56 from one of our collection buckets.
Sadly, Rev. Hannah Lewis has had to leave her job as priest within the Deaf community.
This means she will no longer be running church services at our Centre. It also means that Hannah has resigned from the Management Committee.
Hannah’s statement about the change to her circumstances can be read opposite.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hannah for her support to our community and for the advice she has given over the years.
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.
