We had a great day out back in June to Eureka in Halifax.
We took a coach packed with excited people (especially teh adults) and everybody had a fantastic time - well done to Sheron for organising another fab day out.
Woodlands Club
Many thanks to the Woodlands Club, Rotherham for making us jointly Presidents Charity of the Year. RODS members Paul Critchlow and Sally & Dave Hacon recently represented
RODS at a charity night at Woodlands where their members rallied to raise a terrific sum of money. The exact amount is as yet unknown but a big THANK YOU to the President and
all at Woodlands for their generous support.

Sheron recommends ....
Natalie nail and beauty
Sometimes as parents/carers it can be difficult to find people who are willing and confident to provide personal care services to people with learning disabilities. This newsletter
allows us to share positive experiences that our members have had.
We girls generally love to be pampered and I can recommend Natalie who is a fully qualified mobile beauty therapist - formerly of Hellaby Hall Hotel. She is great with Emily - and
the good news is ... us mum's can have something for ourselves too!
Natalie provides a number of beauty treatments you can enjoy in teh comfort of your own home. Tel. 07908 699385
Rotherham Show
Once again we had a stand at the Rotherham Show this year. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who gave up their valuable weekend time to man teh stand and spread teh word about
RODS and the services that we provide. Thanks to Steve and Gloria Brookes for all their work.
