Friendship Club for October

Our lovely volunteer, Jess was 30 this month and we were lucky enough to join in with her celebrations. Presents, cake, balloons and banners - we had a really lovely time celebrating with you Jess and we hope you did too.

This month we welcomed Chilcotts Auctioneers, we had a lovely morning guessing what certain items they had brought in were, which incidentally provoked lots of discussion and even had our own personal items valued too. We are very grateful to Liz, Duncan and Barnaby for giving up their time and are looking forward to making this an annual visit to the club.

We were also treated to a visit by John, Jan and Phoenix from the Guide Dogs for the Blind. John gave us a very interesting talk about the journey to becoming a guide dog and a number of funny stories he has encountered with Phoenix along the way. Phoenix you were an absolute star and we loved our cuddles with you.

To round off October’s club we changed our bingo and raffle into a fundraiser for FORCE, a charity very close to the heart of our Doreen Hooper who used to run the Friendship Club. We raised an amazing £110.00. What a successful morning we had, thank you to everyone for participating!

We’ve had a very busy month but also managed to fit in our usual Tai Chi session with Chris, our lovely donated cakes from The Combe at Kitchen and a quiz or two to keep us on our toes.

We still have lots of lovely activities, talks etc. planned until the end of the year so please do get in touch with the office or just pop along we would love to see you.

Friendship Club for September

Firstly, a big ‘thank you’ to Sunningdale House for letting us join their 70’s themed week and allowing Rona to come in dressed up in her wonderful glitz and glamour. We sang along to ABBA, had a 70’s themed quiz and indulged in all things 70’s. We loved reminiscing and had a lovely morning.

Something new this month Chair Yoga with Alison, we very much enjoyed our first session, so much so Alison has agreed to come back again in November.

We have of course had our usual Tai Chi with Chris, bingo, raffle and the usual quizzes to test our knowledge along with our kindly donated cakes from the Kitchen at Combe and discounted savouries from Greggs. We do very much appreciate your support.

To round off the month we were very lucky to have a performance from puppeteer Sarah Vigars and musician Louis Bingham with their Flying with Strings show. They introduced us to the world of birds, including the graceful swallow, the charismatic hoopoe and the colourful bee-eater. Sarah makes these beautiful puppets from scratch herself, the detail was really quite something. After the show we were lucky enough to have a go at puppeteering ourselves with the baby version of each of these birds and of course ask those all important questions. Thank you to Wendy from Villages in Action for introducing us to Sarah and Louis we really did have a memory making morning.

We are back to our usual venue at Meadow View Chapel, every Tuesday morning from 10.00am until 12.30pm, we would love to see you there! Please contact the office to find out more on 01404 46529.

Friendship Club for August

Change of scenery for us this month as we have been at the Community Use Building in School Lane, still lots of activities though.

We had a very interesting talk with Nina from Age UK regarding the different types of scams out there, how to avoid them and in the unfortunate event of being scammed where to find support. Nina also signposted some of us to the help which is available from Age UK too.

A talk and demonstration from Twin Tigers in Honiton who came and showed us their Muay Thai moves. Safe to say we were in awe at their strength and all wish we were slightly younger so that we could join in too!

Our usual Tai Chi session with Chris, rounded off with bingo/raffle along with various quizzes /board games throughout the month too.

Please feel free to come and join us, we are back to our normal residence in Meadow View Chapel from 8th September, so if you or anyone you know would like tea, coffee biscuits and of course that all important company and laughter, get in touch with the office on 01404 46529 to book - we cannot wait to meet you!

A big thank you to Tesco in Honiton, and in particular the Community Manager, Duncan for their generous food donation they have given us this week.

What a fabulous time we all had at the Honiton Show yesterday - thank you to all the organisers for putting on such a great event!

We met lots of interesting people and it was lovely to see so many of you enjoying the day in the sunshine 🌞.

Our very own Ross managed to find himself in the main arena, hoping to share as much information as he could about the vital work we do within our community. In between him telling you about our wonderful voluntary car service, ring and ride outings, friendship club and mobility shop, he even managed a few groovy moves on the scooter.....who knows, next year, we might even see him as part of the stunt bike group!

Until then, we'd be really grateful if you could continue to spread the word of the services we offer & if you think of anyone who might benefit from them, please do give us a call.

We're here and ready to say hello! Have a good show everyone 🌞.

Friendship Club for the month of July!

This month we have been lucky enough to have talks from both Altzheimer”s UK and Sharandy’s Birds of Prey.

Our talk from Judith, the activities she provided gave us a greater understanding of Alzheimer’s, how we can support those around us and has led us all to becoming Dementia Friends. We would like to thank Judith for her time and answering our questions both during the session and afterwards on a 1:1 basis.

We were then lucky enough to have Sharandy’s Birds of Prey visit us with four of their beautiful owls. The talk which Sharon gave us regarding each of the owls was really informative, we now know what do to in many situations where we find owls/birds of prey. We also had a flying display from the barn owl which was truly amazing and got to hold the tawny owl, an experience we will never forget. A huge thank you to Sharon for coming to visit us and making the most wonderful memories.

Of course we also had our usual Tai Chi session with Chris and the end of month bingo and raffle.

We have temporarily relocated to the CUB on School Lane in Honiton, we are here until and including Tuesday 1st September.

We always welcome new members, so please feel free to contact the office to book your place on 01404 46529. We look forward to meeting you.

Friendship Club is with Katy Foster Ceramics

A huge ‘thank you’ to Katy Foster Ceramics for spending the time with us to create our beautiful pieces of pottery. We have loved the process from beginning to end, even learning new skills along with way too!

Here’s a reminder of the process along with the all important final reveal.

Friendship Club - June

We have celebrated yet another special birthday this month, this time it was our June turning 80! We had a decades themed quiz, along with music, Charlie came to visit us from OJ Gyms, June’s favourite cake, balloons, banners, a present and card from us all. We had such a lovely morning and we hope you did too June!

As well as the above we had Chris with us doing Tai Chi, balloon exercises, a reminiscing box from Tiverton Museum with the theme of Summer holidays, we enjoyed sharing our holiday stories and with the help of the artefacts presented remembering how these fitted into our past too - in fact we’ve enjoyed this so much we’d like to do another one later in the year! Along with the usual last Tuesday of the month bingo and raffle.

Thank you to the Kitchen @ Combe for their cake donation, along with Dilly’s Florist who very kindly donated a beautiful plant for our raffle and of course Greggs for their delicious sausage rolls.

We have had a number of new people joining us recently and there is always room for more, so if you do know someone who would like to join in the fun please do call the office on 01404 46529. We looking forward to meeting you.
