Welfare

Best wishes go from all us at the branch to several of our members who are unable to attend lunches at the moment. They go to Liz Proctor who is back in hospital, to Tony Jennings recovering at home from a heart attack and Phil Webster recovering at home after a fall. We also send our best wishes to Val Mantle who, following a fall, has damaged her knee and is now waiting for an operation. Visits to any of these would be much appreciated.

 

Social - Annual Lunch 2023

The Annual lunch this year was well attended although numbers were down on last year. As usual the meal was well served and delicious, and we all appreciated the accompanying wine or fruit juice. Maurice did his clever card raffle and the winners took home a great M&S token or the lovely centre flowers bought for the occasion. Thanks once again go to the Ocean Beach Hotel for their continued support and to Maurice and Gill who do all the organising.
