The Social Deaf Club is a 'Pop-in' event where anyone can come into The Cave to chat & meet new people from 5pm to 8pm on the First Tuesday of Every Month. Hard of hearing, or not, everyone is welcome.
Something people fortunate enough to have good hearing might not realise is that social spaces are often tricky for deaf and hard of hearing people due to inconspicuous background noise.
The evening is informal, and simply provides a space where people who hear well or not, can chat over a drink or Tapas. To make things as comfortable as possible, background noise is minimised with things like drinks chillers temporarily turned off.
The idea is simply to bring people together to socialise in a safe and comfortable environment.
Just drop in for drink and a chat.
Pet dogs also welcome!
The evening is hosted by Nancy Weatherson. Nancy is a local resident, a Deaf Communications Professional, and founder of FeelHear. Nancy also runs British Sign Language courses in the village for Milford on Sea residents.
