Seahaven Hard of Hearing Club
Our September meeting included a talk by Gill Houghton, our lip-reading tutor. Gill brought along her hearing dog, Harvey, who was so well behaved and loved by everyone. Gill told us of her life before loosing her hearing and how she coped whilst bringing up two children. She spent three years training to be a lip- reading teacher and told us of the day she received a letter confirming that she could have a hearing dog – it was the day before her birthday so ‘the best birthday present ever’, she said. She told us about the training she did with her first hearing dog, Nellie, and how Nellie won an award and a Blue Peter badge, for saving Gill and her children from a horrible experience whilst on holiday in a caravan. Nellie stayed with her for 14 years and then retired. Gill kept Nellie even after she was given Harley. Gill’s lessons are very interesting and so helpful to those loosing, or who have lost, their hearing.
Names were taken for lunch at The Star Inn at Normans Bay for lunch later in the month. On Saturday 3rd September, 13 members attended the Seaford Little Theatre to see the comedy The Nightingales.
Our lip-reading classes start again on Tuesday 6th September at 10am at Sutton Barn (formerly 60+ Club). If you would like to join the lip-reading classes please email Jayne on enya1.marsh@gmail.com. Our next social meeting will be Friday 7th October when Paul Green will be talking about Sussex Murders. New members welcome. Please telephone Pauline on 01323 895216 or email white-c7@sky.com for further details. Pauline White
