Sep 2015 Girton Memory Cafe - St Vincents Close

Todays theme was Harvest and Harvesting on the Farm.  We were delighted to welcome Sam Clift as guest speaker.  He chatted about his life as a child on a Fen farm and treated us to his wonderful collection of rural hats amongst his humerous anecdotes !  Our Entertainers sang a lively selection of cheerful old songs including 'We plough the fields and scatter', 'John Barleycorn' and many others. Our very own Rotary bard - Vicky Burman - gave us a poem to read out too.  Tasty homemade cakes were on offer of course with hot drinks served with a smile ! 

Helpers start at 9am please.

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.

Parking and disabled access easy.
