We had 19 members today with their carers. Lisa welcomed everyone including new members Olga and Jose. They had technical issues with their camera but still enjoyed the audio and enjoyed the session.

Lisa also welcomed Sheila, one of the volunteers from the Rotary Club of Golders Green. Lisa informed members about recent responses received to her email regarding organising a group chat session and informed members that the unanimous decision is for early evenings during the week. The first group chat session will therefore start on Tuesday 24th August at 7pm.

Lisa also informed members that James Le Bec will be away on Wednesday 19th but they would still be in for a treat as Lisa and Mark have some Karaoke style entertainment with a twist.

Ian James was ready as usual to start his music entertainment but before he started he brought Sonny his dog to the stage which everyone really liked.

Ian decided to play as a tribute some Elvis songs today especially as it was the anniversary of his death on the 16th August 1977. Members were soon up and dancing and moving around to the Elvis songs. Ian then played a few Beatles songs and then some other favourites which everyone enjoyed singing along to. Thank you Ian.

Eon was then ready to start with the warm up exercises to gentle music which then progressed to the more upbeat Salsa/South American music which got members really working out and enjoying themselves. Thank you Eon.

It was then time for Lisa to read a couple of her short funny stories which is always very welcoming as everyone loves to have a good laugh. The quiz today was a picture quiz about Herbs and Spices. There were 15 picture questions. Marina got the top score today. Well done Marina. Lisa then finally called out the Bingo numbers and today's winner was Maria. As this was Maria’s third win, she will receive a small gift. Well done Maria.
