May 2023 Newsletter

Book Club Join our virtual book club every 6 weeks! Our Book Club went really well on the 22 nd May, it was a little different than usual. Over the last six weeks, we decided to each choose a book of our own, rather than a group book. We wanted to read the book, come back to the next session and review it with the hope of encouraging another book worm to read it next time.

Together Choir Bring colleagues and residents together through song Very emotive singalong this week with the Together Choir and Emma Bradnum, our Choir Master singing 'True Colours' and 'Rise Up' in preparation for Pride month in June. We then ended with a very characterful song 'Burlington Bertie from Bow'! Those that attend the session say they really love the sessions as they are so uplifting and really brighten up an afternoon. Everyone is welcome, both colleagues and residents. Children from a local school joined the residents at Hallcroft, Shipley for our singalong. They were even kind enough to sing a verse and chorus of True Colours unmuted so we could hear their beautiful voices. Our Together Choir runs once a month, Thursday afternoons at 2.30pm for 60 minutes.

You do not have to put your camera on if you do not want to, it is your own choice. Everyone will be muted by the host, so you can only hear the Choir Master singing so feel free to sing to your hearts content. If you have any requests, please do let me know and I would be more than happy to pass them onto our Choir Master.

The books discussed and recommended today were:

- The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch - Good Omens by Terry Pratchett - The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charles Mackesy.

All fantastic reads in different ways.
