Activities
YBPSS runs an activities programme which is sponsored by the Big Lottery Fund. All activities take place in the meeting room at Holgate Villa.
Exercise Group
Every Thursday the group meets to do gentle exercises to music with a qualified instructor. It runs from 10.30 - 11.30am and is followed by coffee and a chat for half an hour. It is a very enjoyable session.
Book Group
On the first Tuesday of every month the book group meets to discuss a novel, biography or non-fiction book. We provide CDs or cassettes of the book the month before and we can try to meet requests for large print and Braille. We meet at 10.30am for coffee and a chat before the discussion. It is a very informal and friendly group.
Walking Group
This group undertakes walks in the local area on a Wednesday afternoon.
Knit n Knatter Group
This very popular group is a mixture of experienced knitters and those who had given up knitting because of deteriorating sight. It is a very friendly group, with volunteers on hand to help out and lots of new friends to "natter" with. Meets on Tuesdays, fortnightly at 10.30am.
Memories Group
The Memories Group meets on a Wednesday morning, once a month to reminisce on topics suggested by the members. We have had lively discussions on such things as school days, health, food, holidays and Christmases past.
Museums and Theatre Groups
We run occasional trips to local museums and theatre productions, contact Ann for details.
