and up to seven other Committee Members.

We have a membership of just over 100 members - new members are always welcome. The registration fee is £5 for the year. We are a very friendly club and do our best to bring a smile to as many people as possible. The club meets every Monday afternoon for a game of Bingo from 2.30pm till 4.15pm; every Tuesday morning from 1 0.00am till 11. 1 5am for a cup of tea/coffee and a chat; every Thursday afternoon for a meeting where members are informed of any forthcoming events, e.g. outings, etc. and any other news which may be of interest to the members. The meeting starts at 2.30pm. After all the news has been relayed and the minutes have been read, there is a short interval for a cup of tea and a biscuit followed by a game of bingo at 3.15pm. The afternoon ends at 4.00pm.

Other activities such as jumble sales, table top sales and various other events, i.e. Darts Marathon in April, special coffee mornings and outings continue throughout the year. Each year, an Easter Bonnet Parade is held and members receive gifts of chocolate and eggs. A party is held at Christmas for all members which is paid for out of club funds - likewise, members receive gifts. Some outings are subsidised by the club to make a cheap day out.

We are currently applying to the Community Fund to lay a new floor for the safety of our more fragile and disabled members.
