Bluebells over “60’s” club has been running for 44 years.  In the early days it had a membership of over 100 and there were regular speakers and entertainment.

A highlight of those early years was the Christmas meal, which was prepared and delivered to the Village hall by local butcher, Joe Broomhall.  It consisted of a freshly roasted turkey, large saucepans of mashed potatoes, and salads, followed by tinned fruit and cream.  But this has had to change over the years with Christmas meals being enjoyed at the local pubs.  A much appreciated entertainment was the visit by the local school with seasonal music and songs.

The group have been meeting twice a month and many long lasting friendships have been formed.  

In recent years, however, the numbers have unfortunately dropped to around 20 so the group has decided to close.  I am sure it will be missed.

As Chair of the Parish Council I would like to say a huge thank you to Anne and her helpers for providing a much needed opportunity for our senior Parishioners to socialise.  Anne has been organiser for 25 years and feels it is time for a change.

If anyone has any ideas on other ways to help this group of people to get together please can you get in touch with me.

 I would be happy to help to co-ordinate.
