Tea-Po�ers on Tour

T����� � BS10 B����

It’s great to be ge�ng back to some normality and to be able to socialise again! With the return of the BS10 Bingo and the Travelling Teapot (bigger and be�er than before) we have welcomed some new members and sadly have had to say goodbye to others. We were saddened by the loss of a member and dear friend Sheila Boyce. We will remember Sheila with such affec�on.

During the reopening of the Bingo we set about raising funds for the Jubilee celebra�ons. It was decided to revamp the pa�o area outside The Woodnook community room and hold a celebratory tea party in honour of our Queen, completely funded by The Travelling Teapot. Unfortunately, we experienced some an�-social behaviour that le� us unable to con�nue with the event so sadly we had to abandon it.

But as the saying goes ‘where there’s a will there’s a way’ and we decided to plough the remainder of the funds into a couple of trips! Our first trip was to Yate shopping centre where we shopped �ll we dropped (helped along by a few refreshment stops), and then on the way back we called into Poplars Farm Café in Frampton Co�erell, where Wendy wanted to take a li�le piglet home!

Our second trip was to Cadbury Garden Centre where we browsed and purchased many beau�ful things for the garden and enjoyed a cream tea. We had a fabulous �me with lots of laughter and banter with our driver Barry from Lawrence Weston Community Transport.

We hope to con�nue trips subsidised by the Travelling Teapot with a contribu�on of only £2 per person. We look forward to providing many more events in the near future as they have proven to be a social lifeline to many!

A BIG thankyou to Wendy Daly for all her help and support.
