Our first social afternoon was a great hit with the knowledgeable and talented John who entertained us with songs from many favourite shows. People were singing along, toes were tapping and one man serenaded his wife as John played a song from their wedding day.

It was a happy but tearful lunch club when we said goodbye to Doreen Huebler who is jetting off to America to live near her son. Doreen has been coming to lunch club for many years, more recently on her own since her husband Andrew died. We wish her all the very best.

What a wonderful Sunday afternoon we had with our amazing team of lockdown volunteers. The BBQ and drinks party was a year late, but well worth the wait to say a heartfelt thank you to the team. They enabled us to help so many people during what was for some a very scary and lonely time.

Our outings programme was kickstarted with an afternoon trip to Bosham Harbour. Terry our driver took the scenic route and everyone enjoyed the quayside walks and views, as well as a cafe stop. See our outings page for a copy of our summer programme.
It was fantastic to see so many at our afternoon tea. Many of us haven’t seen each other for over a year so it was really great to catch up. We had delicious home made cakes, scones and plenty of chat in the lovely bright room at Winton House.
