September 2011 - New volunteer at the coffee mornings
Maria Miller, the Basingstoke MP and Minister for Disabled People, is volunteering at our coffee mornings. The coffee mornings are on the 1st Saturday of the month from 10am – 1pm, and a chance to meet up with friends over a drink and a biscuit. Other popular activities include using the computers and playing bingo, supported by Maria and the other volunteers Maureen and Colin.
