Welcome back.....


Firstly, it's BarBeQue week! On Thursday it is Marquisway's annual BBQ! This year our designated Barbequers are...... (drum roll please.......) Nicola and Elaine! Hats off to them both, very hot job!
Don't forget, if you normally bring a packed lunch you will need to pay for the BBQ, it's £3.40.
Sally-Anne pointed out that it is also the Carers meeting on that day too.

Woohoo..... break up week too, it's all happening! Marquisway will be closed next week and will reopen on Tuesday 1st September. Let's hope everyone has a nice week off, hopefully the weather will be good for us all.

Next up, as promised a few weeks ago, we have a photograph of some of our Bloggers. Please feel free to pass any info about activities and events to anyone that you recognise in the pic.

Remember a while ago, that we told you about a group of young people that were coming to work in our garden? Well, they came! Below are a couple of photo's of them hard at work. Nicola supplied them with loads of sweeties to make sure that they didn't run out of steam.

 

 



It's lovely to see young people donating their time to others.

Team 2 & 3 had a joint summer trip to Ouseburn and then to the coast for lunch. A great time was had by all, no photo's as yet.

A couple of people that we know have been poorly for some time now. We want to wish them both a very speedy recovery and let them know that we're thinking about them.

We also have a couple of photo's of 2 men on a boat! We think that they were taken on the ABCD trip to Hartlepool Marina. They are lovely pictures of Steven and Christopher.

Ok folks, that's it for now. Don't forget there will not be a Blog next week as we are on holiday. Hopefully we'll have lots of stuff to Blog about when we come back. Next Blog will be on the 7th September. Let us have your news, stories and photo's for then please!

 

Bye for now,

 

The Bloggers!

Hi There!

We have some photo's of our trip to St James' park! We had a fantastic day. We saw Gary, our very own 'Gazza' when we first arrived, It was amazing seeing him on the pitch, what an opportunity for him. Sadly, we didn't get any pictures of him as we were too far away. We have asked him whether he has any at home that we could post for you.

 

The place was packed out. Gavin J in his element.

 

Peter, one of our trusted Bloggers, just loved it!

 

 

Andrew and John trying to keep Sonia calm!

 

Alan and Norman totally engrossed.

 

Don't think John F actually stopped grinning all afternoon!

 

Oi! Quiet at the back!

 

 

Unfortunately, our photographer ran out of steam and forgot to take photo's of the actual players! Next time we will have to be more specific or perhaps, take the photo's ourselves!

 

 

 

We have an update on the building work here at Marquisway. It has had to stop for the time being. This is because we have swallows nesting there. Swallows are protected by law. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This means that swallows, their nests, eggs and young cannot be moved, damaged or intentionally killed. Fines or even prison could be imposed by the Court.    

 

Some pictures of Swallows.

 

 

 

 

 

Don't forget that next week is our BarBeQue, that's the 20th August. We have no idea who is going to be chief BarBeQuer yet, hot job for someone!



If you usually bring a packed lunch you will need to pay £3.40 for the barbeque. If you don't fancy a burger or hot dog, that's fine you will still be able to join your friends as you would normally at lunch time.

Next week we are hoping to get some photo's of our Bloggers. This will help you to know who to give your advertisements, stories and news info' to.

Have a good week,

The Bloggers.
