A Memory Café is an opportunity for people with varying degrees of memory loss and their carers to get together for coffee and a chat. It is planned to open a Memory Café in Thornbury starting in March of this year. To run it successfully we need volunteers with patience, understanding and a sense of humour.

If you think you fit the bill and would be prepared to commit two hours on a Tuesday morning just once or twice a month, then contact Audrey on 01454 412619.

If you would like to come along to our a briefing and training session you can discover whether or not the task is for you, without making any commitment.

For further information, contact Audrey on 01454 412619 or just come along on 14th February.

Proceeds this year will be shared by Cancer Research UK, Meningitis UK and local charities, and other good causes.
Last year some £15000 was raised from swimming teams and industrial sponsors, of which £4000 went to each of SSAFA and the National Autistic Society, our main charities then.
As is our custom we run up to 12 lanes of swimmers swimming in relay for as many lengths as they can, in 55 minutes. The swimmers seek sponsorship from relatives, friends and colleagues, which they then collect for the benefit of the organisations identified above.
We organise several sessions each evening as required, 3 on Friday starting at 6.15, 7.15, and 8.15 pm. and 2 each on Saturday and Sunday at 7.15 and 8.15pm.
Get up a team (normally up to 6), join us at one of the sessions above and have a great time. The atmosphere is terrific, reinforced by the rhythm of the Castle School Steel Band.
