Manor House trip – November 2022

Twelve Adventure Group members are now back home recovering from a very busy few days away at the Manor House Hotel near Okehampton.  Billed as the “only Leisure, Craft, Spa, Golf and Sports Resorts within the UK”, The Manor House and its sister Ashbury Hotel offer hotel guests 60 different activities and 99 holes of golf across six golf courses.  Our group were determined to make the most of these!

So this is what we got up to in our three day stay:

  1. Pottery throwdown
  2. Lino printing
  3. Stained glass copper foiling
  4. Silver clay jewellery making
  5. Resin art
  6. Christmas rag wreaths
  7. Glass fusion
  8. Needle felting
  9. Christmas bauble making
  10. Badminton
  11. Pickleball
  12. Short tennis
  13. Table tennis
  14. Ice curling
  15. New kurling
  16. Archery
  17. Air pistols
  18. Air rifles
  19. Laserclay shooting
  20. Yogilates
  21. Tai Chi
  22. Hula hooping
  23. Hydro spa
  24. Ice skating
  25. Racketball
  26. Basketball
  27. Bowling
  28. Board games
  29. Quizzing
  30. Ten pin bowling
  31. Swimming
  32. Sauna
  33. Steam room

It is hardly surprising that most of us have come home for a rest!

A big thank you to Ann for organising the trip and to Michael Heyden for looking after the money side of things.  And thank you to all the group members who looked out for each other, joined up for activities and partook of far too much of the excellent food together!
