St Chad 's Lunch Club Our Lunch Club meets each Wednesday at 12 noon in the Parish Centre where around 24 people over retirement age enjoy a two-course meal, tea, coffee, biscuits and good company for £3.50. Transport can be arranged for those who have difficulty getting there under their own steam and who live in the Parish. The Lunch Club is run by Anne Wallace and Claire Swan (contact details below) so please give them a ring if you would like to come along. How it all started in 1984 On 15th July 2009 the Lunch Club celebrated the completion of 25 years of meeting together, with the addition of wine and a cake to our usual two-course meal. Back in the summer of 1984 Noreen Abel, the wife of the then Vicar, thought there was a need in the area for a meeting place for those in the community who perhaps did not have the opportunity to get out too often and meet others. Eating a meal together gave the meeting purpose. Social Services arranged the provision of the meal and St Chad's provided a venue and the volunteers to bring people in, serve and wash up afterwards. And here we are, 27 years later, some of us still doing exactly that! |
Volunteers The Lunch Club can't run without a wonderful team of dedicated helpers who give up 2 hours every month or so to serve food, wash up and chat to the diners. If you would like to join the Lunch Club team do give either Anne Wallace (274 9917) or Claire Swan (275 2917) a call – you can do as many or as few sessions as suits you and your time availability. Join us! Getting older isn't too good sometimes and people do have problems but all our members seem to forget them at the door with their news and chatter. Once people start coming it takes something big such as leaving the area or being ill to stop them attending. And long may it continue. If you would like to join and are over retirement age, do contact us as we have ever expanding dining tables and we would love to see you. Anne Wallace (274 9917) and Claire Swan (275 2917) |
