They are looking for a few more volunteers to help out. The commitment?  About four hours on a Thursday every few months, helping to set up, serve and clear lunch for about 40 (don’t worry – we have a dishwasher!)  The reward? Mixing with some very jolly and interesting people and getting to have a lovely lunch with them.

If you or anyone you know think they can help and would like to be part of the club please give Marion (01663 73717) or Stella (01663 2132) a ring. 

Tickets: £5 Adults. £3 Children (Under 16) / Benefit recipients / Support Workers
