SECRETARY`S REPORT 12/5/2024
Hi Folks.
I hope you are all enjoying this summer weather . Make the most of it . It could be all we are getting until July . The long range for the rest of May and June is not good .☹
Keep looking at your emails if you are a walker (not Johnny !). The weather for Tuesday is forecast for rain . If it looks like being heavy for our walk from The Sports Village ( James Cook Circular ) we may have to cancel . I will go to the venue to make a final decision with those who turn up . Don't worry Dave , Gordon and Pam - it won't be raining in Portugal .🤣Have a good holiday ..
Eric is off on another cycling adventure on Tuesday. He will cycle South to North along The Outer Hebrides' . Good luck Eric - we hope the weather is good - as predicted -for that far off part of The U K .
Funerals
Sadly the only other area to report about is the recent loss of 3 of our members .
Last Friday a group of us went to Stockton Crematorium to pay our respects and say good bye to our dear friend Bill McCamley . It was a lovely service and I'm sure Bill would be proud of his son Andrew for the splendid send off he gave his dad. Thanks also to Andrew for highlighting how much Middlesbrough Sporting Chance had meant to Bill.
Please keep in contact Andrew - Don't forget you are now old enough to join us and take your Dad's place 🤣.
A week tomorrow - Monday 20th at 13.30 in Trinity Methodists Church we will say goodbye to another long standing and very supportive member of our group at the funeral of Les Jones .
Then on the following Thursday 23rd May at 11.30 we pay our respects to Alan Brougham at his funeral in Acklam Crematorium . Although he had not been a member as long as the above deceased he had made many friends and was really enjoying his Thursdays at St. Cuthbert's before a tragic fall , a few weeks ago ,led to his death .
Committee Meeting Monday 13th at 10am in Trinity meeting room .
Following this meeting next week's Update should have a bit more news for you .
( Happy Birthday to Norman Richardson - 21 + a lot more 🤣today ).
Best Wishes
Peter
Other News (Simon
Aqua Aerobics continues to flourish at the Rainbow Centre on Tuesday evenings at 8pm .
Both Trinity and St. Cuthbert's Aerobics sessions are very well attended on Wednesday and Thursday respectively .
.
Thursday Rebecca and Paula from Middlesbrough Community Learning visited St. Cuthbert's to chat with members they both seemed to enjoy the session
and they offer a range of training courses to suit our requirements and are also intend to establish Air Fryer courses for our members.
Please forward suggestions
for future visits It was suggested we outline the cost of proposed visits as some are expensive (Elvington –Eden Camp)even after the coach has been subsidised., or Bowes Museum are cheaper considerations . Shildon Railway Museum ,The Air Museum Sunderland, The York trip in November at Christmas Fayre time is seen as a probable excursion .
Last but not least I wish to give a big Thank You to Norman Richardson for his commitment on the social events without his input many trips would not have occurred.
