Luncheon Club for Over 55s

---

The Luncheon Club for the over 55s was successfully launched with a very enjoyable lunch in April 2013.

Since then it has become a popular regular event on Fridays, on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month from 10am to 1.30pm to give time for an informal talk or other enjoyable activity as well as a leisurely high quality cooked lunch at a very reasonable £5. For that price you get a tea or coffee on arrival, a delicious lunch, a tasty dessert, and another drink afterwards.

We have found that costs are going up and up so regretfully we will be increasing the price of Luncheon Club to £6 in January 2020.

Please BOOK IN ADVANCE each week with Maureen Richardson on tel: 01524 811316 or by e-mail: Centremanager@haltoncentre.org 

There is space for new participants so do come and you will be made very welcome. Don’t be shy, they are a friendly bunch, come and meet them.

If you can’t come on the day, you can order a lunch to pick up or for a friend to take home for you. (payment in advance), ask Maureen for details.

Autumn Programme:

22nd November – Woodturning Demonstration by Malcolm Smith, with the opportunity to purchase items. Malcolm’s demonstrations are very popular.

13th December – Christmas Lunch – Entertainment provided by Lune Valley Voices with Sian Fox,  and Halton Pre-School. Booking for this meal is essential. Every Christmas lunch has been delicious with great entertainment.

Look out for the new programme of talks in due course for 2020.

So do take the opportunity to come along to these talks. Please contact Maureen to book a place and advise us if you have any dietary requirements.

Volunteers for Luncheon Club

We could do with a few more volunteers to help with serving the meals, setting up and putting everything away afterwards.

Relief cooks for holiday cover would also be appreciated.  Contact Maureen for details, email centremanager@haltoncentre.org or call 01524 811419

Looking back

Two highlights in 2016 were a hugely successful Queen’s Birthday celebration on Friday June 10th – see the report on www.haltoncentre.org/2016/06/55s-celebrate-queens-90th-birthday/  – and a really excellent Christmas lunch on Friday December 9th – see report on www.haltoncentre.org/2016/12/great-luncheon-club-christmas-lunch/

We are very grateful to the Aviva Community Fund for providing a grant in 2015 to help us to purchase much needed crockery and cutlery specifically for the Luncheon Club.

Please also contact Maureen  if you are able to help co-ordinate the sessions, or prepare or serve refreshments, or help with transport, tel: 01524 811316 or by e-mail: Centremanager@haltoncentre.org
