DICE Project making Bongos!




The Second Dice Project session was once again well attended!
This week we had a go at making bongo drums. It was also a good chance for people to meet up and chat, and get to know each other better. There were some very positive comments from
group members about the art/crafts.

Drumming a big HIT in Blackfield



The drumming event at Blackfield was a great success with Mums, Dads and Kids all taking part.
Kris transported us to a typical Village get together in Ghana, showing us the drumming, singing and dance moves!!! We were left with a fantastic sense of community and smiles all round.

DICE Group a Great Success!


The First DICE group was a great success with 16 people attending. Our first Art project involved making brightly coloured drinks coasters from matchsticks! Everyone had a great time and we met a lot of new people. As well as the art activity we had board games, computer sessions with Adam, and guitars to strum on.
Sessions are based in the 'Boyatt' room at the Wells Place centre in Eastleigh.
