Hi Folks
We have a couple of important events ( Birthdays) in the next couple of weeks .
May 5th- Bank Holiday . I know she looks too young but Claire , our instructor at St. Cuthbert's, will be 40 on that day. .
There will be a card etc. for you to sign on Thursday . She will receive it on the following Thursday - 8th. On that day she will finish a few minutes earlier so that we can have a little birthday party .🍰🎈
8thMay is V E Day +80. Our oldest member - John Hannan is going to be planting a tree at Linthorpe Cemetery at 2pm on that day . They have a number of activities arranged to commemorate V E Day +80 . You are all welcome to go along .

Recent Reports
Norman Richardson , our social secretary, suggested the following trip to offer our support.
Julie ,at The Last Post in Thornaby ,has welcomed us a few times in the past and has been generous with refreshments etc on occasions . She has done a lot for charitable causes in the past . However she is now in need of help. The Museum etc . Is in a building which needs considerable repair . It was decided at our committee meeting we would visit the bar/museum to show our support . This will not be a coach trip as it is only in Thornaby . We plan to go as a group on Saturday 28thJune . She is having a special weekend with a military theme (eg. V E Day etc. ) The idea will be to arrive about 2pm . I will find out the most suitable buses which drop off near there and publish the times in a late update/Blogg.
Our Next major coach trip is to Beamish . This is planned for Monday 1st. September .
It now costs £15 to enter Beamish . In addition we have coach fares of about £500+.
This will hit our reserves but we intend to make a large subsidy for those who want to attend the trip thanks to Charlie Rooney and John Waite acquiring substantial grant aid for Middlesbrough Sporting Chance. More details will emerge following our next committee meeting (12th May). It may mean that the cost for guests may have to increase .
Congratulations to the 10 or more who attended the Assisting in an Emergency Course . I'm going to check to see if you can have a certificate .
In late August Claire expects to take a family holiday . Instead of having to suffer me leading 2 sessions we are hoping to arrange for Cleveland Police to address us at one session about Scams and Cyber Security . More about this when it is confirmed .
Just a reminder - AQUA Aerobics is free and takes place every Tuesday -8pm at The Rainbow Centre Baths .
I draw your attention to our website for more information, which Simon McKinnon keeps well up to date -www.mbrosportingc.co.uk
Jeff Saxton gave me information about free haircuts for seniors (Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays ). It is not something which those who are follically challenged like me bother about🤣 but for others the address is The Graduate Salon - The Beauty Rooms, Dock Street TS2 1AD - I think it is Middlesbrough College -Tel 01642333272
That's all for now .
Happy Easter
Regards
Peter
