Chairman’s Report
November2022
Since last November Taunton Mencap has been busy trying and succeeding to get trips and meetings face to face for all our members while also ensuring their safety. Thank you to Lyn and Dave and everyone for all your support during these challenging times. This next year looks even more exciting with lots of planned outings to some of my favorite places. I’m looking forward to Slimbridge again!
Boating on the river Exe was very relaxing and again The Roundtable treated us to a tour around Longleat with the buses bravely ventured through the monkey enclosure!
Our holiday in Torquay was enjoyed by everyone with breakfast and dinner being good to meet and chat over a leisurely meal. I managed to get to Greenways and Shrek The Musical at the Princess Theatre. Join us all again next year.
We (not me) successfully bought another static caravan where all our members can enjoy a great holiday at a very competitive rate. I dare you to find a selfcatering holiday for a week at less than £300! No it can’t be done! And it is in a beautiful spot not too far from a spectacular coastline and a teddy bear museum in Dorchester.
We are looking for more committee members and supporters or volunteers so please join us for a great time.
