Barnet Carers and Dementia Club UK hosted a celebration of their partnership today during Dementia Action Week.
A one hour Zoom webinar was organised at 2pm to show case what Dementia Club UK is all about. Lisa organised 5 ten minutes taster slots for each talent. Mike Rich – CEO of Barnet carers welcome everyone and then Lisa introduced each of the talents.
The first talent was - Quiz Master – Douglas Jackson who prepared 10 multiple choice questions. People had the choice to give their answers electronically by ‘Polling’ or just write the answers. The second talent was Chair Yoga by Richard Kravetz. The third talent was a multiple-choice Music Quiz by James le Bec. The fourth talent was Exercise to Music workout by Eon Walters and the fifth talent again was Quiz Master – Douglas Jackson finishing off with another multiple-choice quiz but this time it was a picture quiz.
Lisa then finally played 2 of the favourite songs with the lyrics for a sing-a-long – Dean Martin ‘Amore’ and Doris Day ‘Que Sera Sera’.
This was a successful fun event and good feedback was received. Lisa and Mike thanked the talents and Mike also mentioned that everyone would be receiving red cushion also.

We had 19 members today. Everyone enjoyed the karaoke session and the chat session started at 2.30pm. Lisa welcomed everyone and provided some reminders about the celebration event on Friday at 2pm and also the Bank Holiday on the 31st May as there will not be a session. James Le Bec and Joy then joined us and James was going to do just a singing session but everyone voted they wanted a music quiz instead especially also there were a few birthdays for the extra points. The music quiz was great and the winner with the highest score was Gina and Chris. With 9 out of 10.
Richard Kravetz then joined us for the Yoga which everyone really enjoys, and this was followed with Richard’s quiz which today was about the ‘Weather’. It was quite a challenging quiz but there were 3 winners with the 9 out of 10 – Gina and Chris, Stephen and Brenda and Jackie and Joan.
Lisa then followed with the Bingo and the winner today was Booba Beryl and Hazel. As this was their third win, they are the BINGO Eleven winners.
