Learning disability partnership board- Big Day

Where it was- Taunton County Hall.


It was all about one thing and another, there was a chap called David and he chatted about people with learning disabilities and problems can can buy their own home and if they had 2 bedroom place they wouldn't have to pay bedroom tax for a 2nd bedroom. There was a bloke from Enham, in a wheelchair his name was James Wood. And he did a talk about direct payments, 
And there also was people with learning difficulties they all chatted about there Musgrove hospital, work experiences. And myself and Jade from Frome office we chatted about my work opportunities and I also read a poem out called Day By Day.

HOW IT WENT ON THE DAY: 

Clemma's notes- I thought the day went really well, everyone was inspiring and it was really interesting to hear what everyone had to say, to one another and to us as well. They did a good spread of food it was delicious they done brie and cranberry sandwiches also chicken and sweetcorn and ham and tomato ones my favourites were the brie and cranberry one though. And also had good flapjacks and Jade had a Millionaire shortbread.

Jade says- Clemma and I also had an Openstorytellers stall at the event, we gave out lots of leaflets and spoke to a few people about what we do. One man was interested in the storytelling group performing at this day centre, which was great and be a good opportunity.

 In the story Gareth wanted to join his father and brothers in Camelot so he decides to go after them. He gets to Camelot on Pentecost were he asks Arthur to work for a year and a day, so Arthur sends him to the Kitchens for Kay, who is Arthur's half brother, and  he bullies Gareth and makes him do all the lowliest jobs.
We are making  a work shop to take to schools on why bullies are cowards and about the message in the story.
We have been working for  a long time on it, its a work in progress!
