The Village Hall was brimming with visitors to the Free Sign Language Open Day last Saturday 3rd February 2024. As a result, 12 people have signed up for the next Introduction to British Sign Language Course which will start in the village from Monday 19th February 2024.
This valuable and caring skill can enhance the lives of those you meet who are unable to hear the world around us.
It is likely that we all know someone who struggles with their hearing, just imagine the smiles if you could communicate better with any deaf or hard of hearing people you know or may meet.
The course is run by local village resident, Nancy Weatherson a fun and friendly Deaf Communications Professional.
There are still a few places available, so please contact Nancy to find out more at nancy@feelhear.co.uk if you are interested.

'Pop-in' Social Deaf Club
A happy group attended the first 'Pop-in' Social Deaf Club, which is a event where anyone can come into The Cave to 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.
Also, meeting other people that struggle with their hearing, or people who have some knowledge of British Sign Language, or simply meeting people who are happy to chat to deaf people, is not that easy.
Well, this is where the Social Deaf Club comes in. The idea is simply to bring people together to socialise in a safe and comfortable environment.
Whatever your hearing is like, please just drop in for drink and a chat. Pet dogs also welcome!
