Sign Language Evening 16.5.24

Brock GatewayClub Night, Miscellaneous, Uncategorised22nd May 20240

We had one of our highest attendances of the year for our sign language evening, it was great to see parents and carers taking part in this event too. The activities gave everyone the opportunity to learn some signs and also to take away sheets as prompts to continue practising. You can see from the concentration and smiles on peoples faces everyone enjoyed the challenge! We are looking forward to continuing practising and learning together.

Everyone concentrated as we were carefully taught the different signs. A huge thank you to our excellent teachers.

Each member’s name had been prepared in sign language and lots of people took on the challenge of finding their name and then learning to sign it.

We also learnt to ask for different things including tea….

It was a fantastic evening that finished with a group of members singing and signing a song in Makaton, which they had learnt previously, from The Greatest Showman.

Keyhaven Yacht Club 14.5.24

Brock GatewayClub Night, Miscellaneous15th May 20240

We had a wonderful night at Keyhaven Yacht Club. We were a little worried about the rain staying away but we were lucky with a warm, dry evening! A huge thank you to everyone at Keyhaven Yacht Club who makes this event possible and for making us all feel so welcome. It is one of our highlights of the year and it was fantastic to see so many members attending and having great fun. Everyone, of course, also enjoyed the beautiful views out to sea and also the Isle of Wight.

It was lovely to gather inside, chat to friends and watch the boats.

I needed to listen very carefully and concentrate to steer the boat.

What a fantastic place to watch the world go by.

It was such a lovely peaceful evening watching everyone having such a great time.

It’s lovely sitting and watching the beautiful views.

I had a fantastic time out on the boat, now back to the clubhouse for a rest!

We even had blue skies….right at the end of the evening!

A huge thank you to Andy, Heather and Matt for a fantastic time.

Games Evening 9.5.24

Brock GatewayClub Night, Miscellaneous10th May 20240

On Thursday 9th May we held a very active games evening. We recently carried out a survey of activities members would like at club and many said Table Tennis and so this prompted the event. It was great to see everyone joining in games either in groups or individually.

Lots of members, staff and volunteers had a go at table tennis.

Where do I put my hand next? Twister is great fun, but needs lots of concentration!

Can you splat the rat? Jess did, several times, well done Jess!
