The G.T. Club
Come and join the GT Club! The G.T. Club is a social club for people with a learning difficulty that is run by people with a learning difficulty. The club has its own constitution and management committee and only learning disabled people can make decisions about what to do.
The G.T. Club - What we do there
We have a lot of fun at the G.T. Club. Of an evening we have snacks, have a chat, and meet new friends. We play pool, table tennis, have a raffle, sing karaoke, play games, pool and football.
We have Easter and Halloween parties at the Scout Hut and barbecues and discos. We have Christmas parties at the Portland Pub. The club has also taken part in the Lions Club annual “Its a Knockout” several times and in 2005 we won! We also run training courses at the club for example First Aid.
G.T. Club Days Out
As a group, the club members also have days out. We have been to Cadbury’s Chocolate Factory, Monkey World and Drusillas Zoo Park. We also had days out in Horsham, Eastbourne and Hastings.

Quotes from members
"I enjoy coming because I have met some new friends"
"I enjoy coming because I know people and I have met new people and they have a canteen I like and they have a disco which is good. The good things are the music, singing, raffle, ping pong, and the pool table"
"I like meeting people and listening to music. Friendly people"
"Plenty of room to roam around, not too crowded"
"I like having a drink and something to eat and listening to the music. Its in a good location, as I sometimes like to walk around the park too"
