Members of Winterton Disabled Club took a break from playing their weekly New Age Kurling at Winterton Community Pavilion to visit the replica WW1 trench dug by Stuart Maw and Ryan Mather as part of a fundraising challenge.
MONEY, MONEY AND MORE It has been a very busy time at the Club during the last few months after we received a Big Lottery Awards for All grant amounting to £8230. This fantastic award covers all our transport costs, hall hires and volunteers expenses for a year. Needless to say that we have already put this to good use! Our members have enjoyed a trip to Sewerby Hall and our forthcoming trips include going Christmas shopping at the White Rose Centre, Leeds and Boundary Mill Store, Sheffield. Our regular fortnightly assisted shopping trips continue providing a much needed service to our members who also have the opportunity to socialise during meals out. Boccia equipment has been purchased and sessions are running alongside New Age Kurling. Both sports are easy to play and are very therapeutic, improving balance and co-ordination. Anyone can join us every Wednesday at the Community Pavilion 10am to 12noon. Cost £1 includes refreshments. Thanks to a grant from the Concertina Charitable Trust we were able to put up a FREE CONCERT for people over 60. What a great attendance, with around 120 people turning up on a rather miserable grey afternoon but no one cared once indoors at the Community Pavilion. Great musical entertainment was provided by Marlaina. Many thanks to all who were involved in setting up the room, preparing and serving refreshments and doing a mountain of washing up! Our Make a Difference Day was well supported with 23 stalls. We are very grateful to Carole Harrison and the Community Pavilion committee for letting us borrow loads of tables to accommodate everyone. It is well known that we do like to party at the Club and of course we could not let Beryl Greenway’s 101st Birthday go without some kind of celebration. Thank you to Winterton Town Mayor, Councillor Bob Bridge, for joining us on the day. Christmas is fast approaching and it is time to party again! On the 2nd of December we have invited friends to join us to share a “Scottish Nostalgia” afternoon with Terry Richards. On the 16th of December our Christmas Party will be held at the Ingleby Arms in Amcotts. Looking at next year, we will be organising another Charity Fair sometime in April.
