Presentations
The general feedback for the presentations were “very informative useful and helpful information.”
Entertainment
The feedback for the entertainment was very positive for the St. Bridget’s Primary School pupils performing Mary Poppins. Some small technical difficulties didn’t phase these mini professional performers as they had the crowd clapping and singing along. They didn’t miss a beat!
Country music group ‘Opportunities in Retirement’ drew the conference to a close with some classic rock which went over well with the audience.
“Children were excellent!”“Well done to the kids”
“They were perfect”
Tenants thoughts on the entertainment
Games, Raffle and Bingo
To keep tenants occupied during lunch, games were set up along with the information village. The games included put-put golf where the goal was to get a hole in one with three tries. The second game was a target game using ping pong balls, the highest score of both received a prize.
Each tenant had a raffle ticket in their information pack, prizes included chocolates, candles, vouchers and more.
To round off a pleasant day the guests were given bingo tickets. This was the highlight of some attendees day. Some won a toiletry set, slow cooker, kettle, toaster and the top prize, an air fryer.
