One hour of volunteering-litter pick

Our response to the Mayor’s challenge for residents to give one hour of their time to the community. Before we started, and after we had finished picking up litter in a small area of the town. Fifteen black sacks of litter and bottles!!

The Harvest Supper was enjoyed by over 50 members on Tuesday - well done Dee and her catering team!

Bright Sparks Felt Workshop

Here are a few photos of the Bright Sparks Felt Workshop hosted by Mary. It was well attended and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Bright Sparks

Our Bright Sparks group were treated to Mocktails on Thursday afternoon by the ladies from one small step.    They popped along to talk to us about our health and well-being, and to offer help and support if any were needed. The talk was interesting and we learned about how much sugar was in our food and all about how much alcohol was recommended in a week, also what a unit of alcohol looked like. We were able to see how healthy our lungs are and how much fat is in our body’s, even though we may look slim. It was very informative but also fun and we all enjoyed it. Here are just a couple of pictures from the afternoon.

LITTER PICK ON SUNDAY

The Mayor of Teignmouth, Paul Burgess, was a guest at our Cream Tea in August and asked us all to give an hour of our time to help the community in some way. We have arranged to spend an hour picking up litter around the town on Sunday 15th October. Please meet at 10.00 a.m. in the railway station car park. All equipment will be supplied. This is our chance to Keep Teignmouth Tidy!
