Mar 2017 Girton Memory Cafe - St Vincents Close

Today we had a lovely room full gathered to celebrate the 6th Birthday of the Memory Cafe in Girton. Our very own Allsorts led the singing - such songs as Lamberth Walk and All the Nice Girls love a Sailor - such fun to sing along.

Bramley Court presented us with a cute cake to celebrate a year of their attendance, as well as our 6th Borthday !

Our District Governor Derek Rothwell and his wife Deidre were pleased to come and visit today and cut the cake for us (thanks again to Eileens piping bag and cupcakes) ! Our other guests included Assistant Governor Simon Lake, Zena Aldridge from Dementia UK and our Speaker Sam Clift.  The WI came too with armfuls of Twiddle Muffs - really inventive creations that while away time with a variety of textures and small objects attached to look at and feel.

Thank you everyone that helped today and made it possible - The Cambridge South Rotary Club have made a long term commitment to offering this service for an extended period of time. - 72 events so far !

Helpers start at 9am please.

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.
