It was a great evening last night. The evening began with a welcome drink followed by Jimmy Deane and the rest of the community team saying a little about their work in the Foundation. Also Kate Eddy and Marianne Ellis, Bath Ladies players and coaches, spoke about the Girls/Ladies Development teams.

This led on to the supporters taking part in a variety of interactive games and before they knew it they were turned into classmates and the Foundation staff into their teachers! The games were taken from the programmes that are done with the children in schools.

To break the ice the supporters were introduced to an interactive whiteboard game where they had to match international flags to a country. Then from the classroom environment to the Recreation Ground for more games!

All the supporters took part in the Healthy Lifestyles Programme and were invited to put together a healthy meal by placing food cards onto the Eat Well Mat. This is a big smiley face with different sections for carbs, fruit, fats, dairy and sugar. Language Through Sport was demonstrated in a game of chase by using the French words allez, arête and merci and this was followed by everyone being given a tag belt to play a game of tag. Everyone began by walking around but by the end of the evening their enthusiasm took over and everyone was charging around like ‘young things’ determined to be the one with the most tags!

Back to the clubhouse to cool down and to have a few drinks. The Theatre Factory was there to entertain them with a few songs before the evening ended.

It was a great evening and we hope it gave a more realistic vision to the supporters of what the Foundation actually does. The Foundation appreciates all the fundraising and support that the Supporters do give to the charity and we hope that they now understand a little bit more as to what they are helping.
