| CRITICISMS |

I feel I just sit around and don’t
get involved in anything exciting
When you’re involved in an activity the staff are happy to
help out but when you’re not involved you don’t get anywhere
Tables in main room too low and we need new chairs – lighter
ones
Photography and pottery sessions – wish they were a bit longer!
Members should help more e.g. washing up! |
