Visit to Anthony

On Friday August 28th we went to visit our former colleague and founder member Anthony Rew in Woodford, Essex. See the photos above (click on any of them for a larger version).
Thanks to Mencap for lending us their mini-bus and former support worker John Greaves driving us, we were all able to travel up together along with former Richmond upon Thames mayor Cllr Marc Cranfield-Adams. We were pleased to find Anthony extremely happy in his new home and spent an enjoyable hour or two with him. Anthony is going to send us some of his art work by e-mail so that we can still put it onto our cards. Anthony also has a face book account now, if any old friends would like to contact him.

Wedding Day Celebration

We were all privileged to be invited to the Wedding of our Health and Safety Manager John Harrison to his lovely fiancé Sophie Macdonald. The wedding took place at the United Reformed Church, New Malden.

It was attended by over 100 people. The sun shone and the wedding ceremony was a joyous and happy event. Click on the photo to see a larger version.

Irish Evening 2009

On July 9th we held another enjoyable and successful fundraising evening at the Kings Head in Teddington. Celtic violin and guitar music was provided by Band of Two and the usual wonderful buffet produced by the Linda and Alice and the trustees. Thank you to all who came along and supported us.

Marie Curie Tea Party 2009

On 3rd July we held another successful Tea party in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. We raised £67 and would like to thank everyone who supported us with this.

Regular Discos

Following the success of our recent Grease Night, we decided to hold regular discos for people with learning disabilities at Clarendon Hall in Twickenham and did in fact have another extremely enjoyable evening on June 24th. Our next disco is planned for October 27th - full details to be announced later.
