Douglas Drive had the pleasure of welcoming Stephen McPartland MP and Kathie Painter on their visit to Douglas Drive on Friday.

They met with the Friends of Douglas Drive group and joined in with Christmas festivities and, in true Douglas Drive style,
a nice cup of tea!

Thank you Kathie for taking this great photo!

This months ‘Sunday Diner’ will be our

the festive mood!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Autumn Bazaar today.

It was a great atmosphere and really lovely to see so many friends, old and new, coming in through the doors.

And the total raised… drum roll please……..
 a fantastic £545.00!

Once again thank you to everyone who supported us and also to our amazing volunteers, staff  and friends for all the time given both today and yesterday to put this event on….
….We couldn’t do it without you!

Douglas Drive has been a hive of activity today getting ready for our Autumn Bazaar tomorrow, 11am – 2pm.

We have stalls galore including … Tombola,
Nearly New, Craft, Bric A Brac, Cuddly Toys and our very popular cake stall (minus a few that were taste tested this morning – Mmmmm!).  We will also be selling tickets for our Autumn raffle which will be drawn during the afternoon.

Refreshments will also be available.

Why not pop along and join us… maybe pick up an early Christmas bargain or two!

Look forward to seeing you!…

We have just added a page to our website showing our new Douglas Drive video … Why not take a look!

…Just what you need on a chilly day!

Give us a call or drop us a line this week
to book your place.

Some of the craft items made today.

Today saw the first meeting of the
‘Friends of Douglas Drive’ group…

We made a great start on bits ready for the craft stall at the Douglas Drive Autumn Bazaar in November but, it wasn’t all work, work, work!…

There was lots of chatting, a bit of reminiscing, tea, coffee and some very nice cupcakes!…

…. looking forward to next week!

We are introducing a ‘Friends of Douglas Drive’ group to support the centre and help make vital funds.

To do this we will be starting a Friday craft session 10am – 2pm where friends can meet up and chat whilst making various crafts that can be sold to benefit the centre and, for people to have a go at crafts they may not have tried before.

The first group will be held on Friday 4^th October 2013.

It will cost £2.00 per session which covers teas and coffees. If people would like to support our ‘lunch in a bag’ they can be provided at £3.50 (all profits go to the centre) or, you could bring lunch with you.

This new group is open to everyone from the local community and further a field.

We are very enthusiastic about this new project and meeting new friends, and hope people will support our new project…..  Look forward to seeing you!

Can’t believe it’s a month since our last
‘Sunday Diner’
Where has the time gone?…

Before we know it, it will be… oh no, let’s not think about that!

Roast Pork & Beef this month followed by homemade rice pud!….
