Allotment Club

18th May 2007

ECHO have recently acquired an allotment plot and are currently working hard to turn it from a weedy bit of mud into something altogether more fruitful. A the beginning of the year there was only a baron strip of weeds but already we have raised beds, some equipment, a brand new shed, almost limitless enthusiasm and a dismantled green house that needs putting together again. Hopefully we'll get some plants planted in time for this years harvest, if not we'll have fun trying.

So if you fancy yourself to be green fingered or just want to have a go you're more than welcome to join us.

Contact the office on 243303 and ask for details.

Friendship club

ECHO FRIENDSHIP CLUB

Outside. The first group of Senior Citizens chosen for Stow Hill, Baneswell, Clytha Park and Lower Dock Street was established following a day trip organized by ECHO STOW HILL

ECHO FRIENDSHIP CLUB is open to all over 50 years of age who reside in the areas mentioned above. How we all love to talk! Our Seniors say that the best part of our meetings is being able to chat to each other about any topic they want to. Seniors are enthusiastic about trying something different and enjoyed the ceramics sessions so much that they asked for other new activities to try so some of us are starting classes on Drawing and Painting at the SHARE Center soon.You're never too old to learn and have fun while you're doing it. We have such a variety of activities planned, such as 'Beautiful Babes of Ages Ago', talks about Newport History and garden birds, quizzes, Beetle Drives and even a little easy session of Line Dancing! Intrigued? Then, if you're over 50, come along and have a bit of fun with us. ECHO Friendship Club has been invited to do an item or two for the Youth Summer Cabaret and some of our Seniors have planned a comedy mime 'The Wellie Boot Ballet'. We're not telling you what that is about – you'll have to come and see it for yourselves but we think we have more fun rehearsing it than actually performing it! Yes, we do like a laugh!
