Heighington Blind & Partially Sighted Club Autumn 2008

The club held their Annual General Meeting on 14 May followed by a quiz and a demonstration of new equipment by a representative from South Lincs Blind Society.

On 28 May Rachel Shaw from the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust had members enraptured with her talk on the various nature reserves and parks within Lincolnshire.

On 14 June, the club decided to have an open evening meeting in St John's Church, Washingborough. It was a wonderful night as members were entertained by the Lincoln Barber's Shop Harmony Club and Eileen Smith, who played the church organ before the concert and during the interval. We would like to thank everyone outside the club who joined us. We know you enjoyed yourselves because you asked us if we would be doing it again next year.

On 25 June, members enjoyed an afternoon of laughter as Loretta Rivett entertained everyone in the Lincolnshire dialect.

On 9 July, Ray Howard from Dunston entertained the members with tales on village policing.

On 23 July everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Turks Head.

The club is closed during August but we will all be back in September. We meet every fortnight. Anyone wishing to join can contact Betty Knight (01522) 794121 or Patricia MacPherson (01522) 856981
