Heighington Blind & Partially Sighted Club Update Autumn 2010

Unfortunately our speaker for the meeting on 2 June did not arrive so it was decided to have a social and quiz afternoon which was enjoyed by all.

Then on 16 June members were entertained by Tommy Steele with humorous tales from his past whilst working as a bus/coach driver.

At the end of June meeting Tara, from the Trading Standards, brought members up to date with all the current scams and warned them to be very careful and not give away any personal information to anyone coming to the door or phoning the house.

On 14 July a member from our sister club in North Hykeham paid us a visit to demonstrate the Daisy Player as some of our members are contemplating purchasing one. The Daisy player plays talking books in CD format as opposed to the old tape recorder. Thereafter we enjoyed putting our brain power to the test.

On 28 July a very enjoyable lunch was had by all at the Black Bull in Bracebridge Heath.
The club is now closed for August, re-opening on 8 September.

We meet every fortnight and anyone wanting to join should contact South Lincs Blind Society on 01476 592 775
