Warminster PHAB [Physically Handicapped And Able-Bodied] Club. Once more it’s time to make our report – how time flys!
We held another very successful Jumble Sale (without these we couldn’t carry on) and a Bingo Session which is always popular.
For Easter the members tried their hands at making Easter cards. Gwen, one of our members, who is very artistic, judged the entries, and the 1st prize was awarded to Norma Lemon, and the 2nd prize to Cath Fuller.
The next week found us enjoying a fish and chip evening. Everyone found they had a good appetite.
A Beetle Drive is always good. It’s so hard to get a six to start, once getting one it forever turns up!
We attended the Assembly Rooms [in Warminster] for Mayor’s Day. It’s good to see friends from all walks of life and to ‘chat’ over to the public of PHAB.
Monday afternoon I had a stand in Westbury Parish Hall, trying to sell PHAB to people who thought we were a pop group! Took it to Dilton Marsh on Thursday afternoon and back to Westbury again for the evening. On Friday morning it was Bratton, so all in all a busy week.
On Tuesday last we had our very first Evening Tour, after a very wet day the evening proved sunny and light. It was a three counties tour, and we ended up at Semley for a ploughman’s lunch at the Kingsettle, arriving home around 10.30 p.m.
We’ll keep you informed of future events. Take care of yourselves.
