As we have not been able to meet physically for nearly a year now, due to Covid-19, SPIN has been meeting each Wednesday night between 7.30 pm to 9.00 pm via Zoom for the last few months.  We chat with each other and play games, and would be really pleased if more of you would like to join us.  If you would like to take part, and have a computer, phone or tablet with access to the Internet, please get in touch with Lindsey (secretary@spin-tamworth.co.uk) and let her know.  She will then add you to the SPIN Zoom circulation list, and you will get a link each week to click onto so that you can join with us.

We are hoping that by July most people will have been vaccinated, which may mean that it is safe for us to meet again face-to-face.  With this in mind we have provisionally booked our SPIN Activity Week, to take place at the Coton Centre between Monday, 26 July and Friday, 30 July.  Each day would run between 10.00 am and 3.30 pm.  Please keep the dates in mind, and if we are able to go ahead, we will let you have further details as soon as we are able.

Christmas Performance

Wednesday, 2 December was the SPIN Christmas Performance, held at Tamworth Youth Centre, which is now run by the One Recovery Team.

Publicised as a ‘Christmas Extravaganza’, more than a dozen SPIN members took part in front of a large audience of family, friends, other members, staff and volunteers. Christmas songs and carols, poems, readings, jokes and sketches were ably performed, and afterwards tea, coffee, mince pies and cakes were available for consumption before making the journey home.
