Queen’s Jubilee tea party

We will be hosting a tea party for Duffield’s older residents to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee on Wednesday 1^st June.

If you have any to share, we would love to hear from you and promise to take great care of them. Please drop them in to Sarah at the Weston Centre in a sealed envelope giving your name, contact information and some details about them. Alternatively, you can email them to sarah.sdm@westoncentre.org.uk

The March screening, where we enjoyed ‘Last of the Blond Bombshells’, was the busiest yet! Our next film is ‘Easter Parade’ on Thursday 7^th April at 2.00pm. Doors open at 1.30pm. This lavish musical stars Judy Garland and Fred Astaire and will certainly get you in the mood for Easter.

Lunch Club

iPad tuition

The third course is due to start in April. The funding we secured to pilot the course has now been spent so we are introducing a fee to cover costs. The ten-session course includes email, the internet, using the cameras, apps and video-conferencing. Classes will be kept to a maximum of five to ensure careful support and pacing. Complete beginners, as well as those wanting to gain confidence in using iPads, are most welcome. The total fee is £80 and includes loan of an iPad if desired.  This can be paid in instalments before the start date. Our next cohort is full, but if you would like to join the waiting list, please contact Sarah at the Weston Centre on 01332 840349 or email sarah.sdm@westoncentre.org.uk
