Hello Rosemary

Thank you for asking The Mase to come along to talk to the coffee morning last Wednesday, and for the warm welcome Jim and I were given.

The MASE GROUP

What happens at a MASE?

Fundamentally the MASE aims to provide social support and information for people with dementia, their carers, family and friends.

Once a month, in Haughton, Rugeley, Great Wyrley and Cannock a MASE Group is held. The locations have reasonable access by public transport and are in safe locations close to each town. The premises have wheel chair access, accessible toilets, car parking and catering facilities. Every effort is made to make the MASE user-friendly by using suitable visual and audio equipment.

Grange over Sands, September 2013

On Monday 23rd September, 38 of us travelled by coach to the Cumbria Grand Hotel in Grange Over Sands, calling at Barton Grange Garden Centre for a comfort stop. After checking in during the early afternoon, we settled in to our rooms and then joined each other in the dining room for a lovely evening meal. Afterwards, we sat chatting and enjoying a drink in the lounges.

On Tuesday, Andy, our driver, took us for a day out. After calling at Settle, we went on to Hawes, travelling over the Yorkshire Dales in beautiful sunshine. We called at the Wensleydale Cheese factory and were shown how the cheese was made and, of course to purchase some (which most of us did). After arriving back at the hotel, we again enjoyed a lovely evening meal and afterwards we ere entertained by a singer/comedian called Michael Jackson (NO, NOT THAT ONE).

The next morning, we boarded a ferry and enjoyed the journey to Bowness where we spent a couple of hours exploring before departing for the hotel for dinner. After dinner, we were entertained once again, this time with recordings of some of the old songs to sing to.

On Thursday morning, we were taken on a tour of the lakes, via Grasmere, then on to Keswick where we spent some time. We travelled back to the hotel via the Kirkstone Pass. We departed on Friday morning, leaving the hotel at 10.00am, and calling at Blakemere Craft Centre for lunch on the way home. We arrived back in Stafford at 4.30pm. We had lovely weather every day, with no sign of rain and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the break.

Many thanks to Jenny Barrett for the review.

If you would like to share your memories on our website, please send reviews to Rose.

: As a young man Arnie was parachuted into battle over the Rhine, Germany in 1944 . Fortunately he lived to tell the tale. Having just recently returned from the 70th remembrance anniversary in Arnheim our hero celebrated his own 90th Birthday with a party for many of his friends at Walton Village Hall (His 2nd of 4 parties in different locations). Here, he is pictured at his party with Suzie his lovely Daughter-in-Law. “Arnie we are incredibly proud to have you as a member of Walton Phoenix. To say we are amazed at your many talents and fantastic personality would be an understatement. What a lovely influential human being you are” AWG-SWPAC-Chair Sept 2014
