March Deaf Club
Friday night 6
th
January at March deaf club
It was Hilda Boehms 90
th
birthday that day and we all celebrated
with a big birthday cake. Friends gave her two bouquets of
flowers and we all sang Happy Birthday to her.
Hilda looks a picture of good health and happiness.
Billy Rodwell performed with his singing and signing but this time
he did not have his make up as he forgot to bring it with him.
Billy sang different songs, like Mammy, Humpty Dumpty which
was good to watch and also Silent Night.
At the end we joined him singing a song called White Christmas.
We also thanked Gisella for guiding him.
Afterwards, Elaine Heath did a mime and games with three
volunteers. Elaine explained that the mime came from a world
famous mime artist called Marcel Marceau who was French. The
three volunteers were Joan, Godfrey and Dennis. They had to copy
from one person then did it themselves not knowing what the
mime was about, Joan thought it was about a bonfire, Godfrey got
it right saying it was a cow but Dennis thought it was a bull. Bit
strange for a bull to have udders! The second mime was High
Society it was about an invitation to a posh party, Michael Pape,
David Kettle and John Uren took turns to perform from memory,
we laughed a lot at their funny acting.
By the end of the evening, we all joined in together for jokes, funny stories and word
games which went on till late in the evening but we all enjoyed it with lots of laughter
and guffaws (belly laughing). It was a great way to start the New Year at March Deaf
Club.
ELAINE HEATH

We had a small party to celebrate Hildas 90
th
birthday on Friday 6
th
January 2012
(photo on top left). Billy Rodwell also gave us a demonstration of singing in sign
(photo on top right). Please see the report
by Elaine Heath about the evening.
On Friday February 3
rd
2012 David Kettle
was talking about astronomy for about 90
mins. David and I brought telescopes and
books to display. 26 people came,
including four visitors from Milton Keynes
who were very interested and came to see
the telescope, books and chatted (see
photo below). Did you notice that everyone
in the photo below has their coats on? The
church hall heating was not working but
Rev. Chandler put it right, and in a few minutes we warmed up.

18 people entered the Sid Follows Shove d Trophy on Friday March 2
nd
2012. It was
a knockout competition and Rodney Hopkins won. Christine Tarrant (chairperson)
presented the trophy to Rodney (see photo above - bottom left).

It is really lovely to see all daffodils blooming which means we know
Spring has arrived and also we have been lucky with the wonderful
weather, brilliant sunshine. I just hope this will continue throughout
this Summer even though we do need rain but I will be happy to
have both, rain during the night and sun during the day!!
I am really looking forward to London Olympic and International
European cup (ZZZzzzzzz for some of you) in the summer.
The CDA Trustees have been busy with lots of different projects and
they all have been working hard which is something we all
appreciate as they are all volunteers. A BIG thank you to all who
filled in CDA Questionnaire and we have passed the information on to the Trustees
who will be able to see your feedback. Sally Skeldon was the winner of Questionnaire

The Greek dancing has got off to a brilliant start and all those who have taken part
thoroughly enjoy it. Thank you to Anastasia for organizing this project as well as
being a trainer.

Peterborough Deaf Drop in

Peterborough
Drop-In has been
very busy over
the last three
months. Lots of
people have been
attending, asking
for support or just
having a chat.
On 7th March, a
Deaf man called
Bob Marsh came
to talk about how
to get back into
work. He advised
Deaf people to go
to the job centre
and ask about a
'Work
Programme'.
Once they put
their name down
for this, they will
get support in
finding a job. If
the Deaf person
gets a job, they
can be supported
in that job for up
to two years. It
was a very
interesting talk.
PDDI are organising a trip to Hunstanton with CDA. The date of the trip is 6th
June. There are more details in the newsletter about this trip.
Debbie Powell is now back at the Drop in. Her treatment has almost finished.
She is looking really well and It's great to see her back.

BSL ramble around Burwell on 25
th
March
Twenty five took part in the walk.
We all remembered about the clock
going one hour forward and turned
up on time which was good. But it
was cold and a bit foggy in some
areas. We set off almost on time and
Ron Allen lead the walk as he had
practiced the walk at least twice
before 25
th
March. Ron planned the
walk saying it should take us three
hours in total for 5 miles which was
the longest of all the walks so far.
We couldnt completed the walk as most of us felt we were running out of time
so Ron cut it short and rerouted us back to the Anchor Pub for lunch and drinks.
The reason why we ran out of time was that the walkers never stop signing
(talking)!!
The weather gradually improved and the sun came out. Perfect!
The Burwell area has lots of history - Anglo- Saxons, Romans, Normans and an
old railway line. We walked along a small part of the Devils Dyke, (see above
photo) and also saw 3 deer running through the fields. A big thank you to Ron
for organizing this brilliant day.









Next BSL Walk is on Sunday May 20
th
in Grantchester
Helen Perry will be in charge of this walk.
Please meet at Byron Pool car park at 10.30am. it is between Grantchester and
Trumpington. The car park is bit small but you can park on the road. We will
walk to Cambridge and return. There are two pubs in Grantchester but it can be
very crowded. You can bring sandwiches and eat beside the river or near the car
park depending on the weather.

There will be a Peterborough BSL Walk sometime in late September
more information will be in the next newsletter.

CDA NEWS
























There will be a limit of 40 people for catering purposes. Because of timing
constraints there can't be more than 8 groups (Or the wait at the finish will be
far too long for those who arrive first). Therefore either 8 groups of 5 or 7
groups of 6, (we should be able to squeeze 2 extra if needs be).

The event will start at St Catharines College at 1:30pm for tea/coffee and cake,
The 'hunt' will be around Cambridge City. Each group will be timed as they leave
and will be started at 3/4min intervals. The end location will be kept secret but
each team will be timed again as they arrive at the end. The refreshments could
last approx 1 hour (depending when your group starts) and the 'hunt' will last
approx 1 hour with the last group to leave St Catherines arriving at the finish
about 1/2 hour after the first group at the finish. Points will then be collate for
each team and a small prize will be given to the winning team. There will be
refreshments available to purchase and toilets near the finish for those who
