During the last few days I have been reading the newsletters I sent to you when we went into lockdown and then when lockdown ended.  I have read all your positive emails and all the lovely notes after our meetings, outings, walks and other activities.

I have come to the conclusion that "Hope is the heartbeat of the soul" and therefore we are not going to give up hope even if we are, once again, going through tough times and the immediate future does not look that bright.

Members who attended the presentation by Cecilia were very enthusiastic and complimentary. These are two of the comments we received: The presentation on reflexology by Cecelia was excellent. A few of us (including me) had no experience with reflexology. Others knew quite a bit about it plus other "pressure point" techniques. It was very interesting to learn about it, learn about the differences and similarities between it and other pressure point techniques, and especially informative to see a demonstration of the technique. Cecilia's relaxed, informal, knowledgeable presentation encouraged a lot of questions and discussion. It was a real pleasure. (T.C) Many thanks to Cecelia, who very well covered the basics of reflexology. Moreover, thanks to Stephanie, who patiently allowed a treatment demonstrating kneading, tracing and pushing on the various zones of her feet. It was great learning! (V.L)

50 members enjoyed a colourful, festive coffee morning. The clubroom was decorated and many of our members wore one of the original, hand painted and decorated masks that one of our members had donated for the occasion. So again it was a "Live, laugh and celebrate" occasion which was very well received by all members who attended. In future some of our coffee mornings will have a special theme.

Our club season is now in full swing and as we want to offer you a wide selection of activities, we have introduced a section called: HOT OFF THE PRESS! These are events and activities, which were not in the previous newsletter or events and activities that we had to reschedule, due to last minute unavailability of the location or of the speaker. 

• to the members who pay their dues.
• to the members who add a little to the piggy bank. 
• to the members who pay extra for wine and water.
• to the members who have made financial donations which allow us to add some extra value to our events and which will enable us to refurbish the clubroom
• to the members who have contributed paintings, rugs, cups, saucers etc. to our clubroom
• to the members who make cakes and biscuits and treats for the coffee mornings
• to our librarians who are always finding the best reads 
• and last but not least to the members who help with decorating, organizing and cleaning the clubroom, buying the supplies and doing all the odd jobs.  

Meet our loyal members who are helping behind the scenes. They’re dedicated, motivated and well just simply inspiring! They are our volunteers and we literally couldn’t operate without them. Our resident librarians and our facility manager are just three of our volunteers.

We are currently looking for some helping hands for our coffee mornings and afternoon teas. Do you love baking, well we would love to eat your cakes and biscuits! Are you interested in lending your talents to the club and volunteering alongside great people. Please get in touch with Stefanie
