The winners of the third Quarterly Quiz for 2025 was a tie between the “Know Alls” – Louis Simon, Megan Caminsky, Lee Duke and Basil Duke – and the “Hopefuls” – Barry Hatch, Pauline Hatch, Ann DelVecchio and Don Webster – with 16 points each. Sadly, the “Hopefuls’” answers were incorrectly marked and they ended up in second place.

The frequent airing of sports events on TV on Saturday evenings has precipitated a decision to screen movies on Sunday evenings instead, as well as Wednesday evenings, and the music appreciation evenings will now be moved to Monday nights. The above changes will come into effect from the beginning of August.

We welcome the following residents to Caister Lodge and hope their stay here will be a long and happy one: Shirley Power-Wilson – Unit 67 Vivienne Stiller – Unit 134

The “Guess Who” competition held during the month of July got many residents gathering around the notice board trying to guess the names. Four winners guessed all the names correctly – well done! The four winners were Rose de Abreu, Barbara Ramsay, Rosie Lea and Don Webster. Many thanks to Barry Hatch for the sponsoring of one of the winners’ prizes.
