Back from her break, Jo Chambers was once again happy to welcome
those members who had come along to the club despite it being a Bank
Holiday, which was reflected in the numbers in attendance.
Before introducing the speaker she reminded everyone of the
forthcoming events; namely the change of the next meeting from Esme
Node, who is unwell, to Pamela Patterson with “Just a little Ballroom
Dancing for Fun”. Events at the Day Centre were also mentioned.
Pamela begged a moment to highly recommend the Handy Van service
which she had taken advantage of as it had been promoted at the meeting
on 12th August.
Jo then introduced this weeks guest speaker Charlotte Bennie and her
trusted companion Whitney.
The report by member Margaret McLellan follows on “Just a Few Gadgets and Help for the Visually Impaired”:
“Although fewer in numbers on Monday this week, the members of the Monday Club thoroughly enjoyed the talk given by Charlotte Bennie on aids for sight impaired people. From Talking Clocks and Computers to Buzzing liquid depth indicators, things we do not think about when our sight is not a problem, but for those whose sight is problematic, they must be a great help.
Charlotte was attended by the patient and beautiful Whitney her main help - her guide dog”.
Following a vote of thanks by Jo, on an inspirational talk, it was time to hand over to Pam for her Gentle Exercise session to end the morning.
