There’s plenty to look forward to at the centre this week, with something for everyone whether you’re after a bit of movement, some quiet creativity, or good company over a game.
If you haven’t tried Nature Watch yet, Wednesday’s a great chance to settle in and enjoy a David Attenborough documentary with the group. Thursday brings Sounds of Music for anyone who loves getting lost in a good tune, plus Patchwork/Stitch for the crafters among us.
The big one this week is AI for Seniors, kicking off Friday at 10am in the Main Room — the first of two sessions (the second following on Friday 2nd October), for anyone curious about what all the fuss is about with artificial intelligence, explained at a comfortable pace. No experience needed, just bring your curiosity.
Of course, the regulars are all still running too — table tennis, tai chi, cards, art groups and more throughout the week. Come along, say hello, and see what takes your fancy.
Read on for our highlights of the week!
