Activities in the Spotlight— Music
On a grey, wet Thursday morning feeling down, come and sing
together, at the Phoenix Music group. Have a coffee/tea and a
biscuit (or two), a good chat and go home feeling happier and
brighter. Music and singing gives you that ‘Feel Good Feeling’.
Our group have recently been singing songs from the shows, songs
like ‘Oh what a Beautiful Morning’, ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’,
‘Moon River’, and many more familiar tunes. We are now
singing Country & Western. So if you would like to join us
come along on a Thursday morning 10am—12pm you will be
made very welcome.

Bridge in the Spotlight – July 2019
Bridge A Bridge to brain power
Researchers have found some very good reasons to play bridge:
♣ Those who play more frequently score higher on cognitive tests.
♦ Bridge games offer intellectual and social stimulation on a routine basis.
♥ An area in the brain used in playing bridge stimulates the immune system.
Researchers suggest that is because players must use memory, visualization and sequencing.
Interested in learning to play bridge?If you have ever thought about learning to play, or getting a ‘taster’ of what is involved or want to start up again with a solid refresher of the basics, then join us
Bridge is a brilliant way to get to know other members, make lifelong friends and keep your mind fit and active. It is a thriving, growing and buzzing activity at the club.
Always Welcome

Music Group – January 2019
Music Group
They say that Music & Singing is really good for your well being, singing in a group even better. You can come to the music group on a dull Thursday morning feeling down, have a good sing, open your lungs and sing your heart out with really friendly people, have a coffee/tea and a chat and go home feeling happier and brighter. It gives you that ‘Feel Good Factor’. It’s great when our group has rehearsed a song for a while and it suddenly all comes together and sounds great, (well we think it does).
So, if you would like to join us come along on a Thursday morning 10am—12pm, you will be made very welcome.
In the Spotlight – December 2018
Photography clubs have a reputation. Unless they’re proficient with a camera, people tend to avoid them … for fear of not being “good enough”. Not so with the Phoenix Photo Group. Our members range from beginners to experts and we learn from one another. Our meetings cover every aspect, from understanding the buttons on your camera to framing your photos. You’ll see what I mean if you visit the Phoenix web-site: https://rugeleyphoenix.org.uk/category/activities/photography-activities/
There you’ll find a whole year’s worth of weekly Newsletters that describe what we’ve done at every meeting. These meetings are held weekly, on Mondays, at 1:45 pm at Etching Hill Village Hall.
If you haven’t yet tried us, do come along. We’ve welcomed around 6 new members in the last three months. Why don’t you become the seventh
