Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year.
The Club produces a quarterly (usually in December, March, June, September) Newsletter which is compiled and edited by John Fletcher. The latest Newsletter is for December 2024 and can be viewed by clicking on the following link: December Newsletter final without film titles ; the next Newsletter will be available in March 2025.
Moving into the new year the club’s regular activities continue apace with our weekly game’s afternoons on Tuesdays and Thursday morning coffee sessions. Our monthly films are proving popular and now that we are running the film shows ourselves it means we are gradually building up a library of DVDs which members can borrow. We also have a collection of jigsaw puzzles and of books which are available for members to borrow.
Throughout 2025 we will continue with monthly bingo sessions and monthly meals for singles whether or not you are a member of the club. We will continue to hold monthly talks on a variety of topics – see the events calendar and/or the club noticeboards for details. Afternoon teas at roughly quarterly intervals also continue – because of our membership numbers attendance at these is limited to members only; we are also in the process of altering the way that names are taken for attendance – speak to a committee member for more information.
Following the craft sessions that we put on to prepare the Christmas tree decorations it has been decided to arrange craft sessions on a trial basis as quite a few members were interested. The first two will be in February and March then we will see how it goes.
Look out for one-off events throughout the year such as the Pancake Day lunch, Spring Fayre, boat trips and visit to Ulverscroft Grange.
At the time of writing, we have not made any firm plans for coach outings this coming year. We are looking into whether we can arrange such outings and ideally would like someone to step forward to take on organising these but in the mean time we are considering possible arranging one-off trips.
