Easter celebrations
Posted: 7th of April 2010
At the last drop-in session before Easter a fun morning was had by all. Firstly members had to make their own basket before embarking on a search of the building for chocolate eggs. There was then a playing card lottery which was won by Helen Lilley, the prize being a Chocolate Easter Bunny. An Easter and spring quiz followed culminating with an egg decorating competition. Jacky was the winner of both of these so she went away happy to enjoy her chocolate prizes.
