"Chat Stop" - 20th September

Date: Monday 20th September
Time: 2:00pm
Location: St. Mary's RC Church, Wimborne Road, Poole

It has been suggested by some that we meet at exercise groups & talks etc, but we rarely make time just to talk to one another. The daytime meeting with a speaker planned for August was cancelled as there appeared not to be enough support for the event on the day. So here is a different approach

Chat Stop!

The hall at St. Mary's is booked from 2 till 4 PM on Monday the 20th of September. At least 6 members of the PHSG committee have pledged their support, so all we need is a crowd of you, the members, to turn up. Tea and coffee will flow on demand and biscuits will be available to be nibbled between the chat. There is no plan to have any formal speaker but there may be moments when general discussion rather than chat may happen. It would be nice if some circulation happens such that we each get to know more people than just our immediate friends. Well that’s the hope anyway.

St. Mary's is served by a number of buses from Poole bus station. Services 4, 8, 310, 322, 347, (W&D), M5, M6, and Yellow 26, are listed as stopping close to St. Mary's. So why not dust off your bus pass and come along. For those who only travel by car St. Mary’s has a large car park – (the access sign is rather small, but it's left coming out of Poole, between Tatnam corner and the Fernside Road junction.

There is no formal charge but a donation towards the refreshments and cost of the hall would be appreciated.

Books - If you have some good quality books that could be sold at the Chat Shop to raise funds for PHSG, then we would be grateful if you could donate them. There are various ways you can get the books to us -

  • Hand in to a committee member
  • Leave at the office
  • Take to the Chat Shop on the day

How to get there - To find St Mary's Church, proceed in a northerly direction along Wimborne Road, Poole, from Barclay International, past Tatnam (now a Co-op). Not long before you get to The New Inn pub and road junction with traffic lights, the church is on the left. There is a tall flagpole outside the chuch which can be seen from the road.

A map of the location is on the St Mary's website.

PHSG Cycle Group - next meeting

Date: Sunday 22nd August
Time: 10:00am
Location:Broadstone Leisure Centre

Cycle groupThe next Cycle Group meeting on 22nd August will gather at Broadstone Leisure Centre and the ride will be "To see the sea". A fairly gentle ride then at which all are welcome. If you are uncertain or a bit scared of joining, ring Keith 01202 855001 and get some moral and practical support before turning out.
