Latest DIce Information and dates
What is the DICE club?
D.I.C.E. (Drop-in Centre, Eastleigh) is an open, self-directed activity group for adults with a learning disability. It is supported by Mencap, who provide the support work hours of the club co-ordinator.
We meet on Mondays at the Wells place centre in Eastleigh to do art, craft, music, play games and make new friends. We have a whole array of activities and materials (mostly donated) to choose from or else simply make yourself a drink and chat to other club members. We provide a relaxed and friendly start to the week!
How do I Join? –simply come down and see us, and if you like it, fill in a membership form
What does it cost? – We ask members to donate £2 a visit and this pays for the hall hire – any extra goes on refreshments or to offset weeks when there’s less people. Occasionally we need to ‘top up’ our account with a fundraising activity or grant – so your ideas for fundraising are always welcome.

DICE IS BACK!
DICE has restarted from today (10/1/11) and it was great to see everyone again.
Thanks to everyone for completing new membership forms, as it is important we have up to date contact information for you all.
The future of Dice looks rather more healthy than it did six months ago - If we can all
make a voluntary contribution of £2 per week, this will ensure that we can afford to continue - which is great news for everyone. :¬)

Finances down - but plans are afoot!
After a look at the finances of the group, spirits were a little low as it seems that there's not a lot left in the kitty. In the meeting a few options were discussed to stretch the pennies out and to raise some more.
The main thing is to keep the DICE group going whilst we continue to apply for funding and wait to hear about recent applications!
If you want to help, here are some ideas....
If you can afford to donate any dosh, please do so either online here: http://keepthedicerolling10.eventbrite.com/or by sending a cheque made out to DICE c/o Malcolm Wilson, Area Service Manager, Mencap, Admiral House, 43 High Street, Hants, PO16 7BQ or care of The Art House
If you can volunteer to help with a session in the next 7 weeks on a Monday between 10.30 and 12 in Eastleigh, that would be great too and would give you the chance to meet the group!
Invite your friends to be friends of DICE on facebook! DICE needs lots of friends!
If you have any ideas for fundraising including events we could run, people or groups we could approach or silly stunts we could pull (oh dear) please drop us a line.
If you are part of a group who may consider doing a fundraiser - maybe your colleagues at work will dress up, or have a coffee morning?
If you are a person who likes to bake, let us know so that we can contact you when we've a date and location for a cake sale!
If you are an artist or craftsperson and would consider donating a piece to an art & craft raffle, please let us know!
Thanks for your continued support of the group and we will keep you posted! Please pass this plea on to anyone you think may be willing to help.

Been a bad blogger!
I've been shocking at blogging lately so here is a quick update!
The group took part in the Eastleigh Carnival on 14th August and won second prize in our category, with our mighty fine 'aliens and robots' theme. Mags from MENCAP showed his darker side by scaring many small children with his costume.
Plans are now afoot to make a series of DICE films, in the be-kind-rewind style, using the robot costumes for inspiration.
This week we did printmaking with some fantastic results!

Easter eggs!
This week's session was decorating Easter eggs in preparation for the egg hunt (weather permitting) in the park next week!The group really got into this activity, even though the eggs this week were not chocolate :)
Still no news on the lottery funding, but the group have been made one of Waitrose's 'Good Causes' for May, so that will bring some much-needed pennies.

Staying positive!
The meeting today was well attended and the group are still very keen for DICE to continue. We have our fingers crossed for the lottery fund application, which we should get an answer on any day now. Other plans discussed were having a table at the tabletop sale at Wells Place, approaching local businesses (which Adam is working on at the moment) for donations and looking for free venues where the group could meet.
In the meantime, I've been booked for the remaining sessions until 31st May, so it looks like I have a programme to plan! The group were keen to have photographs of the activities we'd be doing, and simple written explainations - so I'd better get cracking :)
