A huge thank you to New Forest Meddlars for coming to club on Thursday 18th April. Everyone really enjoyed the dancing and music. The team are a regular fixture on our programme and we are very grateful that they take the time to come and visit us. A fun night was had by everyone.

On Thursday 21st March members at the woodwork table were busy making bug hotels. We are very lucky that this year Woodpeckers Care Home in Brockenhurst are raising funds for us. We have made small bug hotels for them to sell. Thank you, we are very grateful to you for raising money for us and very much look forward to working together over the coming year.

It’s always good to try new activities and this week members enjoyed planting their own planters. Everyone chose from spring flowers and herbs and created their own unique design. A huge thank you goes to volunteer and committee member Rod Rook for making all the planters. These have been beautifully decorated by members using paint and stencils.

We had a great club night this week and Sarah organised flower arranging too. There were so many different different activities happening with all members enjoying their choice.

Everyone always looks forward to our Valentine’s evening. It is lovely to listen to music, dance, enjoy great food and of course there is always great company too. A massive thank you to Club Leader Sarah who organises this amazing event. Lots of work goes into the preparation to ensure the hall and food are all ready and beautifully decorated in a Valentine’s theme. As always, thank you also to resident DJs Matthew and Jacob for providing the music and lights.

On Thursday 1st February we held one of our very popular auction evenings. Twenty nine members attended and everyone was on the lookout for a favourite item at a good price. The bidding was very competitive all night, but fortunately no real money changed hands. This was especially good as some items went for around £80! A huge thank you to Assistant Leader Ryan for conducting proceedings in the role of auctioneer. He was very ably assisted by Richard and Caitlan who displayed and delivered all the items, thank you.

Everyone is very pleased to be back at club and meet up with old and new friends. It has been a busy start to 2024 with the opportunity to watch the dress rehearsal of The Brockenhurst Village Pantomime and skittles at The Huntsman. This week was our first week in the village hall and everyone was delighted to be planting spring bulbs.

It was lovely to get dressed up and enjoy the Christmas Disco. It’s always good to listen to great music, dance, eat some lovely food and socialise with friends. As always, the music and lights were provided by our amazing resident DJs Matthew and Jacob. They certainly know how to choose some great tunes to dance to.

It’s that time of year when Sarah brings in lots of lovely Christmas craft activities. These have included present making, decorating home made Christmas cakes and Wreath Making.

We are very excited to have a new pool table and we would like to say a huge thank you to NATS for donating this to club through their Footprint Fund.
