Creature Teachers 28.9.23

Brock GatewayClub Night, Miscellaneous29th September 20230

We had a great time when Creature Teachers came to a club night. We looked at and touched different creatures including ferrets, a snake and an owl. It was good to be able to ask lots of questions and hear that many had been rescued from different situations. A huge thank you for a really interesting evening.

We held the snake very carefully!

It was interesting to learn about where the snake lived and what it liked to eat.

I felt very confident holding the snake.

It was good to see lots of different creatures.

I was so happy when the owl landed on the glove.

Turn round for the camera!

In full flight.

I touched the giant centipede very gently.

Skittles Evening 21.9.23

Brock GatewayClub Night, Miscellaneous22nd September 20230

We had a fantastic skittles evening with everyone joining in the competition. We would like to say a huge thank you to The Huntsman in Brockenhurst for making us so welcome.

Ryan, one of our assistant leaders did an amazing job of organising the competition to make sure everyone took part. He was helped by club members Liam and Sean who made sure all the balls were returned and the skittles were ready for the next person to take part. A great team, thank you.

Everyone had a great time joining in or cheering on friends.

Will I knock them all down?

Skittles is a great game to play with friends.

We all had a fantastic evening.

It’s great to spend an evening with my friends.

The overall winner.

We also had a raffle with lots of great prizes. The proceeds from this help to fund our events.

Welcome Back!

Brock GatewayClub Night, Miscellaneous22nd September 20230

It’s great to be back at club after the summer break. We have enjoyed taking part in our favourite activities and catching up with friends at the same time.

Lots of members really enjoy using the beautiful flowers Sarah brings in to make different arrangements. Brockenhurst Gateway is a social club but we also learn lots of skills. In flower arranging members have learnt to select greenery to begin their arrangement and then add different layers of flowers. Choosing different colours means each member makes a unique arrangement to take home.

So many choices of greenery and flowers.

Working together to produce different designs.

Some of our finished arrangements on display.

I’m really pleased with the flowers I chose.

Great colour scheme.
