Enjoy Milford on Sea: Monthly Social Deaf Club on Tuesday

Hard of hearing, or not, everyone is welcome at the next Social Deaf Club is on Tuesday 4th June 2024 in The Cave.

This informal club is a free 'Drop-In' event where anyone can come into The Cave to chat & meet new people on the First Tuesday of Every Month. Just drop in anytime from 5pm to 8pm.

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.

Drop in to The Cave on any First Tuesday of the Month between 5pm to 8pm to join in the monthly get-togethers.

The evening is informal, free, 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 free Social Deaf Club evenings are hosted by Nancy Weatherson. Nancy is a local resident, a Deaf Communications Professional, and founder of FeelHear.

Nancy also runs Deaf Awareness and Introduction to British Sign Language courses in the village for Milford on Sea residents.
