The current club has been meeting since 2000 and serves a home cooked lunch to about 20 local people aged 50 plus. It is self-supporting never receiving any grants.
The members plan buy, cook, serve and clear away the meals themselves but the Parent and Toddler Group who use the room before us help put up the tables and chairs. We have a retired professional cook in the kitchen and everyone, even the most disabled and elderly (at 103) help.
Members prefer to chat, but we occasionally try chair aerobics or simple crafts and every week run a raffle with donated prizes. The club buys greetings cards wholesale, suitable for most occasions, to sell on at reasonable prices, especially at Christmas.
Annually the club subsidises a meal provided by outside caterers and a summer outing subsidised, from the £3-00 charge for the meal, has visited places like Carsington Water, Cannon Hall Farm and Bakewell.
The club can’t cater for more than 20 members but there are vacancies sometimes.
