Tai Chi on Monday afternoons starting 3 November

Talk at Ainsdale Natterjack WI
On Wednesday Carol, David and Tony went to the Ainsdale Natterjack WI to talk about the Deaf Centre and Hearing Dogs. The group were very interested and had a go at signing the alphabet. They asked a few questions too.
A donation of £40 was given to us which has been split between the Centre and Hearing Dogs. Both get £20 each. Thank you to the Ainsdale WI for this and for inviting us to talk to them.
Framed photo returned to Centre
Today Rev. Frank Naylor‘s son visited us to return the framed photograph of the Centre that was presented to Frank when he retired in 2006.
Rev. Frank passed away last year at the age of 86.
End of an era
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.
Happy New Year!
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.
Christmas hamper winners
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.
Happy belated 85th Birthday Brenda!
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.
Rev. Hannah resigns from Management Committee
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.
