8 Deaf Lunch Club ventured over to the Black Country Living Museum for their summer outing in August, and enjoyed their festive meal at The Wagon & Horses on 7th December. When the gang aren't on trips, they're treated to a tasty lunch prepared by a team volunteers - big thanks to Yvonne, Natasha, Alison, Kim and Sandra who work so hard cooking each month. September saw Gloucester Deaf Club's (GDC) autumn events kicking off with the usual bingo and social nights along with a quiz night which was a huge success. October hosted a First Aid Defibrillator demonstration by a member of the NHS First Responder team and a "Play Your Cards Right" evening, while in November they held their first "Games Night". Next year's calendar is looking as busy, and they look forward to welcoming new members to their Saturday meetings. Once again, the Gloucestershire Hard of Hearing clubs have been enjoying a jam-packed schedule of activities. Sadly Cheltenham Hard of Hearing b closed its doors in November due windling numbers. We would be delighted to re-start the club, so if you're in Cheltenham and would like to come on board with starting a new club there, we'd love for you to get in touch. GDA’s lip-reading classes will be taking a break over the festive period, but will return for another term in January 2018. Classes are just £4.00 per session and are held in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Cirencester. New members are always welcome to the hard of hearing clubs and lipreading classes. To find out more about either groups, please contact the GDA office on 01452 372999 or email admin@gda.org.uk. After a short break at the beginning of the year, GDA's youth group, GDYZ re-started with a trip to watch fireworks at Birdlip in November. The young members then got into the festive spirit with a Christmas buffet and games night. Young people with any level of hearing loss are welcome to join GDYZ - contact Gilson on gilson.sly@gda.org.uk for more information.
