NEW UPDATE
Covid was a very difficult time for the Society. Members were contacted by phone on a regular basis to make sure they were keeping safe and well.
2021 - September, October, November and December was our first attempt at opening up again. Everyone still wearing masks to keep safe.
2022 - Members were delighted that in January we opened fully with a social date list for the whole year. We provided entertainment, quizzes, and afternoon teas. They were all transported in an escorted minibus. They enjoyed day trips to MILLSTONES, -- ST. ANNES AND MURGATROYDS.
2023 - Once again we have a full social date list, with entertainment, quizzes, and an excellent afternoon tea, and new places to visit.
- The Society takes members on an escorted minibus to a Social on the second Tuesday of each month, and are returned home. They have entertainment - or a quiz - a raffle also an afternoon tea at a cost of £2.00.
