Wednesday ClubThe Wednesday Club meets regularly at 2:30pm in the McLintock, where a programme of speakers and entertainment is arranged. Please see our Calender of Events for details. We had a very enjoyable Christmas Lunch at the Beech Tree Inn on Wednesday 16th December. We extend our grateful thanks to Lynne and her staff for the lovely food and warm welcome. We had to cancel our first meeting in January due to adverse weather conditions, but on 20th January Mr Bill Stewart had us all clapping our hands and tapping our feet to his lovely accordion and guitar music and song – thanks again Bill for coming to entertain us.
We had games of Scrabble, dominoes and whist on February 3rd and on the 20th the charming Malaika Rose from the R.N.I.D. to tell us all about the many aids which exist to help make life easier, safer and more enjoyable fort hose who have mild to severe hearing loss or are profoundly deaf.
We meet again on March 3rd for an afternoon of games and our speaker on 17th March, St Patrick’s Day, will be Mrs Patricia Miller.
We are pleased to report that Rae, our Treasurer, recently sent off a cheque for £100 to the Leukaemia Fund – money collected in the “wee tin” passed round during our meetings at tea time.
Hopefully Spring is just around the corner – we wish everyone a Happy Easter and many sunny days ahead.
We finished off the season with a tea party in the McLintock Hall on Wednesday 5th May. Doyle’s Deli provided us with a delicious buffet and there was time to enjoy a chat and exchange news. We were delighted to have Mr Bill Stewart along to entertain us, ably supported by one of our own members, Mrs Avril Hughes.
Our thanks are due to all who help in any way with the Wednesday Club whether it be helping with transport, baking or sandwich making or simply clearing away and washing dishes. Extra help with putting up tables and setting out chairs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks also to Trish, our hallkeeper, for seeing to hall bookings and heating.
Our first meeting, a games afternoon, will be on Wednesday 6th October 2010. Have a happy, healthy and (hopefully) sunny summer.
