Exercises Sitting

This is a new group, led by a member of Eastbourne Blind Society who is a trained teacher with a British Wheel of Yoga Diploma.

This is not Yoga, but consists of exercises designed to promote well-being.
There is no charge.
Those wishing to take part should be able to make their own way to the Eastbourne Blind Society Centre in Longstone Road and be able to walk unaided.
The sessions take place twice a month.
If you want more information or wish to register interest, please ring Eastbourne Blind Society on 729511 to speak to Deirdre Dean or speak to your Welfare Officer.

Walking Group

We have a walking group, which meets regularly to walk along the promenade as far as Holywell where they break for refreshments before returning. A gentle, supervised walk to get the fresh sea air into the system.

At the end of the walkAt the end of the walk, refreshments are greatly enjoyed.

Bowls Club

The Society has a thriving Bowls club. Members play both home and away matches against other Bowls Clubs from other towns and villages and have regular, non-competitive roll-ups.
In summer, the Bowls Club play on grass.
The far rink is getting ready to send the first bowl down.   The nearer rink is getting ready to count the winning bowls.

Eastbourne Blind Society Bowls Club
 

The club will sorely miss Stan and Catherine Jenner as they move away to Ireland on 24th August 2011.
 

Stan, our coach/manager has been there to organise, re-organise and re-re-re-organise matches and roll ups week in week out and Catherine has been our life saver organising the teas. This is a huge understatement of the work they have both done for us and we are very grateful to them both for the time they have given to the club.
 

Our last roll up with them will be on Saturday 13th August when we will have an opportunity to express our thanks, Stan's last game with us is on Saturday 20th away to Hampden Park which, incidentally, is where Stan says he started bowls in Eastbourne.
 

We wish them every happiness and all the very best with their move. Steady with the Guinness, Stanley!!
