Taverham Day Centre 01603 865839/412809

We welcome new member John Webster who will attend on Thursdays.
We also welcome city college student Naomi Sharpe who should be with us on Thursdays
until July, she has kindly agree to look after some members finger nails.
In the past we have made a number of changes to the day centre lottery. A recent examination of the account has indicated that it is not adding any income to the centre’s funds. The lottery will be discussed at the next committee meeting and a revised scheme may be introduced at the start of the next financial year.

Welcome back to the day centre after the Christmas break. A welcome to Margaret ( Mags ) Howes a new volunteer on Thursdays. Glenis has resigned from her post as office administrator. We thank her for what she has done for the centre especially in simplifying many of the many required documents. We are pleased that she staying as a volunteer on Thursdays. The teachers with the children before Christmas have asked if they could sing again this year. We will try to arrange visits before Easter. At the committee meeting on the 14th January we will be discussing the Christmas activities, we welcome any comments, good or bad. We hope you will enjoy the choir from the University of the Third Age (U3A ).

It is good to see some members of the younger generation at the day centre. In October we enjoyed having four scouts with us as part of their qualifications for a Gold badge. Ruby Lemmon, a city college student on a placement, should be with us on Tuesdays until July 2020. Ruby has kindly agreed to look after some of the ladies finger nails.
Please invite your family and friends to the open coffee morning and craft fair on the 12th November. We wish you all a Happy Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year

We enjoyed the Bure Valley railway outing on the 26th September. We thank Dot Jarvis who obtained the grant from the Tony Rampton Trust which funded the trip and the staff who supported the members. We were lucky with the good weather which had not been forecast. There will be an open coffee morning with a cake sale, raffle and craft fair on 12th November. Donations of prizes for the raffle would be welcomed.

We welcome new member Sheila Churchill who attends on both days. We regret that Hazel Canning and Bridget Royal no longer volunteer at the day centre. We are looking forward to the Bure valley railway outing on the 26th of September. Booking forms will be available from the 3rd of September. The cost is £5.00. We ask that members who usually pay on account pay this money in cash. Members who have their own transport arrangements should arrive at the day centre in time to board the coach at 10.30 am. We intend to be back at the day centre at the normal leaving time of 2.30 pm. We hope to hold an open coffee morning and craft fair on Tuesday 12th November.

We are saddened by the recent death of Marjorie Cooper. Our heartfelt sympathies go to George and Dot. We welcome new member Craig Weatherly who attends on both days. We welcome Kathy Smithers who will handle day to day finances. Please mention any concerns about the operation of the day centre in Any Other Business at the AGM on the 15th August. The outing on the 26th September will be a coach trip to the Bure Valley railway at Aylsham where there will be tea /coffee and a two course hot lunch followed by a steam train journey to Wroxham. The coach will bring members back to Taverham. This expensive outing is heavily subsidised by a grant from the Tony Rampton Trust. Members and staff will pay £5 towards the cost of the outing

We welcome the return of Gordon Walker who is attending on Tuesdays. The Annual General Meeting will take place in August. The Chairman will report on the past year and there will be a presentation of the accounts. At the AGM you can raise any concerns that you have. It would be helpful if they could be given to a staff member before the meeting. We hope to arrange an outing on the Bure Valley Railway for the outing on the 26th September. The plan is to go to Wroxham by coach. Travel to Aylsham by train for a hot lunch before returning to Taverham by coach

We welcome new member Margaret Muskett who is attending on Tuesdays. We have been informed of the recent death of Thursday member Edna Mercer.
On Tuesday 21st May there was a presentation of a cheque for £200. This was money raised by the Taverham youth club led by Kerry Johnson and match funded by P Nunn Installations. We appreciate the support we receive from local organisations. Liz Hodgson is leaving the day centre on the 27th June. We thank her for the support she has given the day centre for nearly five years.
