Metheringham Over 60's - Update

The summer is drawing to a close after what has been a very busy time for us. We were very lucky with the weather on our outings after all the rain this year. There are still two trips before the end of the year, Skegness and Chatsworth House, contact Doreen 321478 for availability.
The highlight of this year was the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the club by the Rev. Sam Radford in August 1957. To celebrate this great occasion we held a dinner at the Petwood Hotel on 22 August with 165 members and invited guests attending. We were honoured to have Mr John Tipler who was one of the original committee and organiser of the trips, although he couldn't go on them due to his work commitments (a young lad in those far off days) and Rev Radford's daughter Christine as our guests. After the meal we were entertained by the C.S. Band, what nostalgia, listening to a live band playing music of the era when we frequented the dance halls and danced to live music instead of the discos of today.
Many happy memories were recalled and some sad ones too. Each member received a yellow rose and was presented with a pad and pen commemorating the event. A very enjoyable evening all round.
We have a Coffee Morning in November to which all are welcome. We will have all the usual stalls so come along and enjoy a coffee, you may even find a Christmas present or two!
The Christmas Dinner in December is a members only meeting. Please remember you must attend TWO meetings between September - November to qualify (see back of membership card).
We have a waiting list for membership so if you would like to join us contact Ann (323559) to put your name on the list.
