Members enjoyed 2 art classes this summer led by Professional Artist, Alison Carlier. Kingston Members sketched Autumn Apples with watercolour pencils whilst in Walton the focus was on Lavender Fields using acrylics.
Art has long been a favourite amongst Dyscover Members, as it is a  wonderful and positive way for Members to express themselves, release some energy in a fun creative way and ultimately discover some hidden talents. We look forward to developing more Art classes in the next few weeks.

Members Tessa and Brian were both new recruits at our taster session of sailing during the summer break. We have partnered with Sailability at Papercourt, Ripley for many years – their volunteer team include expert sailors with plenty of time and patience to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable time on the water. Once in his dinghy, Brian proved a natural, taking the tiller and steering around the lake.
Tessa took a larger boat and was caught in a heavy rain shower, but nevertheless managed a smile as she headed for the boat house and a welcome tea and cake.

At Dyscover’s family and friends day at Bookham rifle range, passing on tips to dad Martin and daughter Laura was member, Suzie who took on the role of teacher. The whole family proved excellent shots and went away with a great sense of achievement.

Member Tony and an old school friend, Michael came along too and received expert guidance from instructors. In addition everyone was pleased to meet the Chair of MVDC, Simon Ling who we hope enjoyed seeing first hand how brilliantly the club have enabled disabled shooters access to their club successfully.
