We run activities each week throughout the year in a fun and relaxing way with time for plenty of chat helped down, of course, by a nice cuppa and biscuits.  We’re always interested to hear from new prospective members so if you would like to find out more about our group and activities, please contact us initially either by email or telephone.

Games
The Games group meets on Monday mornings at the United Church in Crowborough and is led by Vic and our other Monday volunteers.  Players can stand or remain seated to play all of our games and they are thoroughly enjoyed by all

• Skittles is great fun.  We use traditional wooden skittles and a boule to knock them down.  Our scoring system adds a little competition to the proceedings and the winner is awarded a small trophy!
• The game of Boccia comes from a modified bowls game and is played by paralympians.  It’s a firm favourite with our members
• New Age Kurling is a highly accessible game which can be played by people of all ages and abilities, on any smooth surface (no need for ice!).  Long handled pushers are used to propel the stones which are on bearings so they move very easily across the floor

Singing
Once a fortnight, we have singing sessions on a Thursday at St. Richard’s Church Hall in Crowborough.  These are led by our amazing musicians.  Everybody has a copy of the songbook for the day and members are always keen to request their particular favourites for the group to sing together.  This is very popular and the sessions are well attended.

Exercise
Alternating with the singing sessions on Thursday mornings at St. Richard’s, we hold exercise classes which are constructed to support people who have limited mobility or who are returning to fitness following a period of inactivity.  For these exercises, people remain mostly seated but with some standing as appropriate.  The exercises follow NHS guidelines and allow for varying strengths and abilities.  They’re very beneficial and good fun – especially when followed by a cup of tea or coffee!
