Unfortunately, we do not have a leader for the crown Green Bowling Group and so no bowling.

In the Spotlight – Wednesday Walks March 2022
The Wednesday Walk Group enjoyed a superb walk /visit to the National Arboretum
at Alrewas. The morning was enhanced by the kindness of fellow member of
Phoenix, Rob Cross, also a volunteer at the Arboretum, joined us and prepared a
suitable length walk. Rob’s knowledge and insight into the memorials along the route
was a great contribution to our morning. We finished at the Armed Forces Memorial
learning much about its construction and design.
We had a great morning despite the damp weather.
Many thanks to Rob.

Latest Phoenix update. – June 2021
Hi All, Firstly, can I say a big thank you to all leaders who informed me of their
proposed start date. So it’s with a heavy heart that I write
this mail saying we are going to defer the start date until July 19th 2021. As
you know this is in accordance with the government guidelines. We are all eager
to return and carry on with the ethos of Phoenix, companionship, keeping body
and brain active but most importantly enjoying ourselves with friends. So look
forward to week commencing 19th July 2021 when we can all start enjoying
ourselves once again.
Kind Regards – Sue

Phoenix Update- Sue Breen – May 2021
Hi All,
This month I’m putting on my Secretary of Phoenix head! This head hasn’t been used for over 12 months!!! So definitely rusty.
Over the past month, I have contacted our activity leaders asking them to reach out to members for their thoughts about activities resuming from the 21st of June. This being the date the government set for us coming out of lockdown. We know from past experience that things could change but we want to ready to safely return to activities. The feedback from activities was really positive, we can’t wait to get back to see our friends. Questions were asked regarding wearing masks, social distancing, cleaning, etc. We will obviously follow government guidelines and members feeling safe and happy will be our number one priority.
The Officers of the Committee will be meeting with Sheepfair at the end of May to discuss all these issues. We will keep you updated on the meeting. So, fingers, toes, and anything else you can cross that the light at the end of the tunnel is a brighter future for us all.
Kind Regards Sue x
