Past Events


  • T'Pedal power

    Peter gave us an insightful talk about his cycle tour of East Yorkshire and Whitby, with tales of punctures, youth hostels, beer and wine, steam trains, hills and descents, injuries and tiredness.

    The route took them around Beverly, Hill, York, Pocklington, Stamford Bridge, Whitby and Scarborough to name but a few.

    It looked like the 14 'older' generation had a lovely time

  • Potty Pottery Painting

    What a lovely evening at the Sherwood Forest Arts and Crafts Centre organised by our amazing Events team. The first course was cake, fruit cream and drinks including Prosecco followed by browsing in the shop to choose a pot to paint, we then had detailed instructions from Melissa and Teresa who were on hand to help where needed.

    Everyone settled down to a concentrate for a couple of hours, there was lots of banter and a certain section were known as the special needs corner LOL. There were lots of different styles, some freestyle, some detailed and some more abstract but all beautiful designs.

    The pots were left to be fired and will be collected in about a week when everyone can see the results and decide where to put them in their home, It's a brilliant way to spend an evening.
