WHY NOT JOIN US? NEW MEMBERS ALWAYS WELCOME
We are a small club and new members are always welcome. Even if you feel you can only offer a small amount of time or resource, you will be very welcome. Many hands make light work, and a lot more fun. Please get in touch!
'Fun?' we hear you ask... Yes!
We looked it up and it seems we do (it's official) have quite a lot of it.

FEBRUARY 23rd (Tuesday)
Stephany Bardzil of Alzheimers Support gave us an extremely interesting and informative insight into the often debilitating condition of Alzheimers and other dementias. We also learned how Alzheimers Support work to help those suffering - and those supporting sufferers - to cope with the condition.
Alzheimers Support don't just work with indiviuals, but also with groups. They are even embarking on sessions using song as therapy, which has proven to work wonders for dementia and stroke sufferers nationwide. It was a great revelation in many ways to hear what Stephany had to say, and a great comfort to know that such an organisation exists to provide so much help to those suffering from these conditions. If you would like more information about Alzheimers and other dementias, and the support offered by Alzheimers Support, please visit their website: www.alzheimerswiltshire.org.uk (or telephone 01225 776481).

HOT NEWS! Volcanoes and earthquakes in Melksham! Another fascinating insight by Mr Lothar Respondek; this time a talk on volcanoes and earthquakes.
