The meeting was about collecting ideas from members on what the group should do.
We discussed:
LUNCH TIME ACTIVITIES
At the moment there is the internet and WII-some clients dont use the WII because they dont know how to use it.
Brett suggested someone could show people how to use the WII up, and make some instructions on how to use it with pictures.
Katie thought once a month trips out, for lunch would be a good thing.
It was suggested we could have cooing workshops at lunchtime to cook snacks.
Maddy suggested the idea of having positions for client volunteers who were willing to show other clients how to use technology {Wii, computers, microwave etc.} at lunch time
EVENING ACTIVITIES
The group thought that evening activities could be run once a fortnight or once a month.
Brett mentioned the problem of people getting in, in the evening.
Ideas for activities included Bowling, Cinema, Swimming, Pub meals, Drinks in the pub, Centre based activities such as watching DVDs {with popcorn} playing board games {with marshmellows n hot choc},and getting in a take away.
Collecting ideads from other people how to get other clients ideas on social activities.

A survey could be done and an ideas box created where people could post ther ideas for socil activities.
