bede

I a lmooking forward to the Summer Fete at the bede Thursday 16th July at 11am-2pm. Make sure you buy a raffle ticket. I hope I win a prize. I will enjoy looking around the stalls with my girlfriend  Charlene.

Summer activities

Bede's summer activity programme has started. Today there's a football  match (or tournament? Not sure what the format will be) against/involving  Winckworth Sherwood. It's an event that is usually well supported and a lot of people want to be involved in playing. I hope Iv'e got the energy...to keep running around.
   

Houses of Parliament 2015

Last week (Tuesday 16th)  a small group, including myself, went on a short visit to the  Houses of  Parliament.There was a lot of security; it was strange to see  the place where the country is governed from, but nothing much seemed to be happening. We also met the MP for Southwark and Bermondsey, Neil Coyle. 
 

Dance Group

The dance group still meets every Friday          (10-11am). It' s really good exercise; can be a lot of fun and I like being part of a group working together. Jess runs the session and she makes it both challenging and enjoyable. It's also an opportunity for Charlene and myself to meet up and do something together as well.     

Let's dance...

Bede has organised a 'danceathon', which will run through the week (until Friday). It's an opportunity to dance our socks off this week and raise some money for charity.However, it's a bit  difficult to find sponsors as everybody is asking everyone else (that I know).

There has already been been plenty of opportunity to get up and dance... 'spontaneously'-it's like being on the set of Dirty Dancing! I do like a bit of a dance, but to be honest, I also often prefer just to relax to something quiet. Does that sound really boring...?

gallery visit

Got it wrong, the trip to the Menier Gallery was  last Friday. Great day out though!


I was busy earlier. A lot of second hand furniture
had been donated to Bede (very nice). We had to not only bring that in, but also throw the old stuff out - a lot of it big and bulky.

This summer's activities

It's a little early to be thinking about it, but I'm  looking forward to some of the Bede summer activities. Last year there were trips to Thorpe Park, the Surrey Quays boating marina, and to the seaside at Brighton, amongst others. I don't think the itinerary has been worked out yet, but it could include Southend, Little Hampton, or Hastings.
