Sep 2016 Girton Memory Cafe - Old Time Music Hall

Fri, Sep 2nd 2016 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 sixty-sixth monthly event. Theme - Old Time Music Hall.


Today we had a full house of great singers ! Everyone sang along as we went through some golden oldies of the Old Time Music Hall era including Underneath the Arches, Ma He's making eyes at me and Me & My Gal.  Our own Frankie Vaughan - Basil - gave us a wonderful version of Give Me the Moonlight and got quite flirty with Wendy at the same time.  The BatchbodyFitness team again delighted us with their armchair exercises to modern beat music - thank you so much for volunteering your time and energy Iain and Clive !  And of course the Refreshments team ensured we were all well fed and watered throughout - such an important part of the whole event.

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.
