The End of 2022 After Lockdown

03/01/2023 00:00:00

Lockdown was hard for everyone including TAG members. The volunteers were amazing, keeping in touch with members by phone to try and ease the isolation and fear. Members sent news to the co-ordinator so she could put newsletters together to keep everyone in touch with each other. When we were able to start having activity evenings, it was with reduced numbers for the first few months. Eventually we were able to bring everyone together again and enjoyed a lot of our favourite activities such as yoga, archery, making Christmas Wreaths and we finished off the year with our first bus trip since before Covid to The Carrickdale Hotel for our Christmas dinner. We look forward to getting back together again on 4th January 2023.
