January 2024

After having such a lovely Christmas at Fairby, we have planned more activities this year, with more singers, outings including 3 boat trips on the River Medway, cooking club and quiz afternoons with our friends at The Hollies.

We had a marvellous afternoon with Mike the Magician, who showed us how to spin plates, blow up balloons into various shapes and generally had a right old belly laugh.

We’ve still been attending our weekly Tuesday club in New Ash Green where we sing, play games, eat delicious cupcakes with a coffee and try our best at winning some prizes on the raffle.

December 2023

Christmas is nearly here and we are all getting into the festive spirit. We’ve been decorating our tree and preparing for the big day.

Our yearly Christmas Party is being held on Saturday 16th December where we will all enjoy mulled wine and mince pies with our loved ones whilst listening to music and having a dance.

We were entertained by our local Beaver Group in our lounge area where they sang carols to us. Take a look at the video to share the great time we had.

We went to a fantastic Christmas Party at our usual tuesday club in New Ash Green and were spoilt with music, sandwiches, cakes and drinks. Everyone had a lovely time.

Residents have been writing Christmas cards and some have even made their own.

We are going to nip out to Bluewater to see their gorgeous Reindeer lights outside and the lovely decorations around the Mall. Of course, we will stop off at John Lewis for a cake and cuppa.

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

November 2023

November is getting off to a winning start. We hosted our new monthly quiz afternoon with another local home and we grabbed the Trophy back - winning by 3 points. We all had a lovely afternoon with a bit of healthy competition over coffee and cakes.

Following on with the healthy competition - some of us popped out to our local Bowling Alley for a game of tenpin bowling. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It brought back a lot of memories and tested everyone’s skills. Some very impressive shots I must admit. This is something we will certainly continue. See the photos and videos of the event.

We’ve already had a few Christmas invites, one to the Longfield Academy where we are spoilt with cakes, drinks, quizzes and singing with staff and children.

We have a small group of local Beavers visiting us early December to sing to us and have a little cake or 2.

Our usual Tuesday Club have also invited us to their Xmas party, which is always fun. Who doesn’t like getting dressed up, singing and dancing and of course eating sandwiches and cakes!!
