The monthly Chase Community Friends Lunch Meetings at the village hall provide a warm and welcoming place for local people to come together for an enjoyable day out, with the aim of improving their quality of life and to alleviate loneliness. Meeting on the second Friday of the month, they offer anyone living in the Chase Community area the chance to socialise with friends and neighbours, enjoy some great entertainment and, of course, savour a delicious three course lunch.  

The wonderful team of volunteers from CCF also provide help with transport within the Chase Community area to those who have appointments at local hospitals, surgeries and dentists; with the collection of prescriptions and, where necessary, shopping and other social needs. 

Sixpenny Handley Bowls Club has a very active calendar of bowling competitions on one of the best artificial greens in the county.  The all- weather playing surface provides our members with 365 days a year bowling activity.  The outdoor season commences in April with various county competitions, as well as mid-week and weekend friendly games, which keep members busy between April and September.  

During the winter months, from October to March, we also play short mat bowls in the Village Hall where we can have up to 3 lanes to play on. Whilst predominantly club members we do also have players from other clubs who come along to practice. We play in the Blackmore Vale Short Mat Eastern League, which gives us 8 home and 8 away matches during the season. When not competing we play roll up matches on Sundays and Tuesday from October to March.

 

Our vision at The Creative Skills Hub is to value and empower individuals with different abilities (learning disabilities) and to advocate the importance of equality in our society.
