Christmas Fair

Preparations for the annual Christmas Fair at Hewlett Court are well

under way. Staff are busy arranging the event in hope it is bigger and

better than any previous year.

Raffle tickets are now on sale and we have lots of brilliant prizes

donated by local businesses, lodges and companies that Hewlett

Court are involved with. Anyone who would like to purchase any

raffle tickets please speak to the Management Team.

We will be having a variety of stalls, Santa’s grotto and refreshments.

We are asking for donations for the Tombola stall and the raffle, if

anyone would like to donate tombola items please hand them in at

the office. All donations are greatly appreciated. We hope to see

yourselves, family and friends at Hewlett Court’s Christmas Fair on

27th November 2pm-4pm.

Raffle & Tombola Donations

Anyone wishing to donate prizes

for Hewlett Court’s raffle or

tombola for the Christmas Fair

please hand them in to a member

of the Management Team.

All donations will be muchly

appreciated. Thank you in

advance.

The Dining Room

New windows and doors have been put into the

dining room. They look great and brighten the

dining room up. Over the next few weeks we will

be decorating the dining room and we would

like your input on the make over. We will be

coming round with samples of wallpaper and

soft furnishings and the majority vote will be

chosen.

Poppy Appeal

Poppies are available in the reception area of Hewlett Court. All we ask for is a donation. We also

have some enamel lapel pin badges for sale in the office. These are £3 each. Speak to the office

staff if you would like to purchase any.

Holcombe Brook Children

Residents enjoyed a visit from the

school children from Holcombe Brook

in October. The children came to

celebrate the Harvest Festival with

the residents. Everyone enjoyed

joining in singing with the children.

Christmas Items

Over the next few weeks we will be getting

Christmas stock in the shop. We will be

selling Christmas cards, wrapping paper &

tags. We will also have small Christmas gifts

available. If anybody has anything in mind

what they would like the shop to stock,

please mention it to the management team

and we will see what we can do.

Christmas Crafts

Over the next couple of weeks leading

up to Christmas, we will be doing a lot of

Christmas crafts in the activities. The

things we will be making will make ideal

gifts for friends and family. We would

love it if you could all get involved with

the activities, we will be making lots of

Christmas decorations for Hewlett Court.
