Vive la France, and let's have more snails!!!!!!!!

Following the success of last years residential to Lake Garda, we decided to visit the Dordogne area of France this year.We again went with Eurosites, but opted for the cosier option of caravans as opposed to tents! A good time was had by all, despite the first few days being colder than England(!), but we made good use of the outdoor swimming pool and barbecue regardless. This is probably the last "whole group" holiday we shall do, with the likelihood that we shall instead do 2 or 3 small group holidays from 2002, where more emphasis can be placed on individual preferences. When the coffee shop is up and running, people will be able to put part of their wages into their own dedicated holiday fund, which will give them the autonomy to have more choice.

Progress report on No.22

As most of you are aware, we have recently purchased the adjacent property to Cleveland House with the intention of developing a coffee shop,together with a further 4/5 bedrooms, a computer suite, new office and meeting room. To date, we have replaced all windows with new UPVC, done external repairs as needed, and repainted the front of the property . Additionally, Chris has, with the help of some of our residents, stripped out the interior of the property. The building work has now gone out to tender, and we are hopeful to start work later this summer.

Football Focus

The Cleveland Seagulls continue their weekly training sessions, and have played a couple more matches at Stone Bay this quarter.

News in general

We have now added Archery, 5 a side football and hockey, and Trampolining to our weekly activities,in addition to Gateway Club, various college and Hilderstone evening classes, Pottery, Pub night, and Melting Pot.

OUR NEW MOBILE HOME

Recently,we purchased a 3 bedroom mobile home on the Foxhunter Caravan Park at Monkton-about 8 miles away. This will enable us to access the facilities there, such as the outdoor heated swimming pool, putting and croquet(!). Additionally they have a fairly varied selection of evening entertainments including shows, cabarets and discoes, which small groups will be able to access as part of our extensive leisure programme.
