COMINGS AND GOINGS…..
Mindfulness and Meditation sessions
Cathy Mauk has led a number of our members in the practices of mindfulness and meditation over the past two years and is proposing a new series of six weekly sessions to begin on Tuesday 2nd July, 10.30 am – 11.45am.
We are privileged to have someone of Cathy’s experience and qualifications making herself available to run these mornings which cover a variety of topics and everyone who has taken part in the past has commented on their value.
Please let Polly know by Friday 27 June if you are interested joining us for this series, new people are very welcome as well as returning participants. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions on this.
Thursday Afternoon Games
Sadly, due to falling numbers (to almost zero!) we will no longer offer the cards and games activity on Thursday afternoons. A similar activity on Monday afternoons is very well attended, so we are assuming that the Thursday time slot doesn’t suit.
This means that the Anne Murray Room is available for something else on Thursdays. Any suggestions?
The foyer chairs
Members will know that the armchairs in the foyer are old, in some cases very worn, very heavy and too low for ease of use. Are you or anyone you know in the process of downsizing? We are looking for medium sized comfortable chairs (not necessarily matching) in good condition and would be glad to have a look at them and if suitable, give them a new home!!
