We run a community project, that has over the past 5 years been supported by members and friends encouraging those that are alone to take part in catching up with old friends, meeting new friends and where tea and coffee has been appreciated by so many.
Come and have a chat for a couple of hours, get out of the house, particularly for those of you that may be on your own or those who would like more company than just your other half.
Volunteers will be required please to ensure this continues, if you can spare an hour or 2 that would be very helpful. A small charge of £2 to be collected on the day, the money raised will go into Club Funds.
