The Stilton Over 60s Club
is run by a committee, and meets every Friday afternoon in the Church Meeting
Room between 2pm and 4pm. The
usual pattern for the first part of the afternoon is that some members play dominoes
and some play whist. Who ever wins the most games of dominoes and whist during
the year gets to keep a cup for one year. There's a break for tea and biscuits,
and also the raffle. The last half hour is then taken up with three games
of bingo. Some
afternoons feature guest speakers covering such topics as country walks, musical
entertainment, wildlife, recycling, mobility aids and other subjects of interest.
Most of the services have given talks, including the Police, Fire Service, Pensions,
Age Concern, etc. There
are outings several times during the year, including a trip to the coast in the
summer, a mystery tour with a pub meal, a Christmas show, and there's also a Christmas
Party. During
the year there are also fund raising events such as a coffee morning, afternoon
tea, and a bingo evening. The
adopted badge is small and in the shape of a forget-me knot, which originally
was the badge of the National Old Peoples' Welfare Council, before it was discontinued
and reformed with the more socially acceptable name of Age Concern. Details
of all meetings and outings can be obtained from Sylvia Ward (242457) or Doreen
Clarke (242643). PS: you don't even need to be over 60! |
