After an exhibition match, the inaugural monthly Big Pong Tournament is on in the middle of September. Come along and join in the fun or simply cheer on the competitors as they vie for the glory and accolades of being the Monthly Champion. Men’s Club had a great afternoon looking at “treasures from the top draw”: a collection of antique fountain pens, watches, pocket knives, smoking pipes, cufflinks, lighters, watches, shavers and other odds and bods particular to gentlemen. We also enjoyed a great photo presentation on car design and are planning a courtyard camping trip, fishing casting competition along with our regular catch ups and chats. Chase the puppy is a most welcome visitor to Wallsend Manor. Chase is a Bull Arab Cross Red Cattle Dog and you’ll see him visiting folks in their rooms with the lifestyle team from time to time. Please don’t offer him any snacks as (just like the lifestyle team) he is learning to be good. A huge thank you to all volunteers who have helped out and visited throughout the winter months. You are the heart and soul of Wallsend Manor. With the warmer weather upon us and (hopefully) a break in the rain, we’re looking forward to getting out and about. Whether its lunch at a local club or restaurant, a lakeside picnic or a scenic drive exploring our beautiful region, we are part of our community. So with fresh new leisure and lifestyle offerings, new entertainers and a hint of spring in the air; its time to start living life to the fullest! Grahame Lifestyle Coordinator 8 Did you know Wallsend Manor have started a choir? We meet every second Friday and new members are always welcome – you don’t have to be a great singer; just bring your voice and enthusiasm! Performances are planned for later in the year and and it won’t be long before we start work on carols. Message from Lifestyle Coordinator Grahame
