Where would we be without our club?. It’s something to look forward to each week . Particularly for those that live alone and may not have family near.Its our social life having a laugh forgetting our troubles for a couple of hours. It's informative having speakers on numerous subjects, fish and chips, entertainment, outing to the coast,xmas party, panto, yoga the list is endless. As so many clubs are having to close we are getting more and more new attendants. All this for £2 per week which is affordable for most.

Thank you Malcolm and Nigel for our lovely friendly club. You two alone are a great double act. So good you make us laugh out loud !! The venue is great too. The club is somewhere warm and welcoming to everyone, with lots of varied entertainment and interesting talks. Everyone mucks in for the benefit of all. Keep up the good work.

THE TEA CLUB IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL US AND FOR THE FUTURE VISITORS . IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE OF A CERTAIN AGE TO HAVE SOMEWHERE TO HAVE A GET TOGETHER AND HAVE A GRAND TIME. ITS MUCH APPRECIATED BY ALL. HOPEFULLY YOU BOTH WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE FUNDING AGAIN FOR NEXT YEAR.
