Went to the Bede flag raising ceremony in Southwark Park today.
These were flags created in the Tuesday art group (by a method called batique), all with a 'seasons' theme, ie. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Really brilliant colours and great designs. I wasn't actually involved in producing those flags in those classes, but I could see that everyone that had, was pretty proud of what they had done. Anyway, we were all happy to celebrate the occasion.

Bede Christmas fair
The Christmas fair took place on Friday and it was as much fun and more than I had hoped. I was helping out on the bric-a-brac stall with Mark, who ran it, the lady from Winkworth's and Charlene. It was very busy for the first hour, quietened down and then there was a mad rush at the end, as everything was reduced in price. We sold a lot of stuff. I bought Charlene some
shoes off another stall, which she really liked. The day was a really good laugh.

Dance Performance
Looking forward to the dance performance on 19th December. There are ten of us in the group
and we've been together for over a year. Jess and Michael run the group. Jess creates and develops the routines and Michael composes the music to go with it. The performance is entitled 'Tales of the Circus', which gives a little idea of the theme, but a bit of imagination might be needed. I really enjoy it: both working with the other people and the opportunity to express myself through movement/ dance.

Christmas fair
It's the Bede Christmas fair on 5th December.
I'll be helping out, but it's a team effort, everybody does their bit. I should be on one of the
stalls selling books, dvd's, cd's etc. There's usually a good selection of things and if I see anything I like, I'll definitely have to buy it. We're not allowed to sell electrical items. Also, there will be a raffle, tombola, home made cakes, chutneys,
pickles and a lot of bric a brac/ household
stuff. Its going to be a lot of fun.

The Bede AGM
Thursday November 13-2014 (6.30-9pm).
I helped to set up for the meeting: chairs, tables, more chairs. There were a lot of people, including some familiar faces I had not seen for a while. Verity was there as well, so that was a nice surprise. I had a brief chat with her. The Mayor of Southwark also turned up. We escorted quite a few people around the premises, so they could see what usually happens.
Can meetings be enjoyable? Well I enjoyed it. Afterwards, it was soft drinks, snacks, music and dancing. Don't tell me meetings are boring.

Halloween
It was Halloween (day) at Bede on Friday. Through the morning there were craft activities. The plan was to make a guy.We had a full set of old clothes and stuffed them with newspaper, to create the body-it looked pretty good. It also had a mask which was an A4 sheet, with the faces of the people in our group (Charlene, Anne MJ and myself) photographed and printed on it-clever. This activity lasted most of the morning, up until the lunch break.
After that the party proper started. There were snacks, cakes, soft drinks, music and dancing (with Charlene). I enjoyed myself. In fact, I think we both had a really good time. It was great to see everybody, particularly Charlene.
