Photography session at Connah's Quay Docks

Today we traveled to the docks in Connah's Quay to take photos of the power station and road traffic bridge. We've included a few snaps below from our phones. The 'main' photos from the Canon camera will be processed and displayed at our Men's Art Gallery in the KIM Holywell Hub. 

Alun and Tim reminisced about the 'old days' of the dock and how things have changed. Photography is a great excuse to get out to somewhere new, or old, on your own or with some buddies to enjoy seeing the world a different way. Every photo tells a story and holds memories. 

Tim, Alun, Dave and Dave enjoying the view.

Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Men's group for car maintenance

Men's group for car maintenance 

Today the men took part in a session about car maintenance. Tim, one of the group members, is skilled with car repairs and wanted to share his knowledge with the group. He has worked closely with our group support worker, Dave, to arrange the session. He got everybody ‘hands on’ with basic car checks and shared some top tips (and potential money savers).

Everybody learnt something new about the mechanics – it was interesting to see how engines have changed over the years. Tim has a great depth of knowledge and was able to let us know how cars have developed, for example what oil types to use, spark plug types and why I don’t have a choke in my car anymore!

Thank you Tim for sharing your skills!

We always welcome the sharing of skills and knowledge in our groups – is there anything you would like to share?

P.S. Have you got that song in your head now? High, low, anywhere we go..

Preparing...
