Jubilee Tea Party
On Wednesday 1st June we welcomed more than 40 people to our tea party in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Our guests shared memories and enjoyed photos of the last 70 years along with poems from Paul and a musical contribution from David, a chorister at the Queen’s wedding to Philip Mountbatten in Westminster Abbey. Larry brought his Coronation Medal awarded for his service as a police officer on the Mall on Coronation Day. As ever, sincere thanks to the team of dedicated volunteers who ensured that the event was such as success.
Minibus trip
Our latest minibus excursion took place on 25th May. David drove a cheerful group to Melbicks Garden Centre near Birmingham and a fabulous day was had by all.
Look out for details of future excursions and be sure to book your place early!
New Trustees
We are delighted to announce that Sandra Zydzienowski and Barry Clarke have been appointed as trustees. We are excited by their ideas and are looking forward to seeing these materialise over the coming months.
Ukelele
We are very pleased to have hosted two ukulele taster sessions. Group leader Paul very quickly had participants playing chords and singing along. It’s never too late to learn a new skill or take up a new hobby!
