A Few weeks ago the Helping Handers were invited to go and dance for a Care Home for the elderly in Ferndown. Our club members were all very nervous but excited to dance once again. We met some new friends and some even joined in with our dances; it was an experience we will remember. Everybody had a great time, all of us Helping Handers could see the elderly clapping along to the music. We thank the workers of the Care Home for inviting us to dance….and for the tea and cakes too!

In quoting a grid reference it is hard to see the contour lines. You may comment on how many contour lines there are across 8km (the width of the area shown on the map) and how few high points there are in the area. Any concerns please come and see me.

A key part are your suggestions on is how people can be more prepared for such an event in the future. Consider the sustainability for everyone in the environment. Use this website:

Remember to use the criteria in the grid below to present the right material. You can add your own data, charts and photographs. I am happy for this work to be done on a computer. Two pages of A4 is all that is required.
