Nottingham MENCAP SENIOR GETTAWAY CLUB

The Senior Gettaway Club GALA Day was held on Saturday 5th July 2008 starting at 11am
and finishing around 4pm

Although the stalls had to be brought indoors, due to early morning rain, the event was a
great success raising around £800

Stalls included the Mystery Prize Stall, Catch a duck, Raffle, tombola, Bric a Brac, Nearly New
Stall, Book stall, BBQ and refreshment stall.

We also had a demonstration by the Hong Du Karate club, which the members thoroughly
enjoyed. www.shudokan.co.uk

All funds raised go towards future club disco’s, day trips out and equipment for games played
during club nights.

As the club is run solely by volunteers we are always looking for new people to join our team
– if anyone is interested then please don’t hesitate in contacting Judith Lincoln Nottingham
MENCAP, Centre House, or call along to Harpenden House on our club nights.

We would also like to Thank Joan George who is retiring as chairperson from the Senior
Gettaway Club, but continuing on as a volunteer, for all her support and help in running the
club over the past 30 years.  It is with Joan’s guidance that the club has made it so far, and
has a great structure to progress into in the future.
