Jan 2014 Girton Memory Cafe - St Vincents Close Community Hall
Fri, Jan 3rd 2014 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
The Memory Cafe welcomes All. A warm welcome for people with dementia or other problems associated memory loss (and their families / carers). Our thirty-fifth event. Theme - Pantomimes.
Todays theme was Pantomimes and several volunteers turned up in colourful and shiny costumes including Basil as our very own Uglyy Sister! We also welcomed Iain Batchelor from Abbeyfield Girton Green who helped us work off a few of those Christmas pounds with seated exercises to music - quite a co-ordination challenge for us all! Wendy recited two very entertaining humerous poems on the themes of widening waistlines and struggling with new technology. Liz and John on the piano led us in a whole host of jolly songs including Hello Dolly, Lambeth Walk and Happy Wanderer. The refreshment team out did themselves with a lovely and abundant assortment of homemade cakes - All great fun !!
We all send our regards to Richard who was unable to attend and best wishes for a prompt recovery.
Happy New Year ! !
Do come along and have some fun!
Open 10.00am - 12.00pm on the first Friday morning of each month.
A Memory-Cafe is where there is a warm welcome for people with dementia or other problems associated memory loss (and their families / carers), who's new memories may be partial and confusing. The aim is to evoke old memories that are complete and comfortable through, for example, refreshments in china cups, home made cakes, photos and documents from past years, songs and poems and informal talks.
Next month doors open on 7th February 2014 - our theme is Valentines Day and Romance.
