Hello Everyone It’s Easter and the eggs are out and counted! Well, Chris is happy and smiling, the little ones will not get a look in! (have put some in my special hiding place 😂) lol! Please note there is no class next Wednesday at the BeeHive due to the hall being in use by the NHS Blood Transfusion we will be back the following week 👍 Sorry for the late update, unfortunately, there was a bit of confusion on reception. Our Annual Dinner and Dance last month was another fantastic day of dancing and entertainment, with Chris sorting out the quiz. Such a lovely day with great company it all went way too quick. Such a wonderful day we just had to book next year’s date before we left 😊. Congratulations to Angela Pearce, Kathleen Cook, Julie Lewis, Janice Harvey, John Anderson, Diana Arbery and Helen Mitchell for winning the quiz.

We have had a great response with members old and new joining us since we restarted back in June. The thought of lock-down being lifted this month, will hopefully give others a little more confidence to return to normal and enjoy life to the full again. Still following the guidance of hands, face and space, we would like this to be kept in mind in order to keep everyone safe and well moving forward as lockdown eases. Bookings are still being taken until we know more of what the new rules will be, so please do get in touch and let me if you would like to come along.
