CATHY’S TUESDAY LUNCHEON CLUB HAS MOVED TO KIRKDALE COURT

As members of the village are aware Cathy Hayes has organised a luncheon club for the senior citizens of the village at the Welfare Hall for over 20 years. However, with the construction of the new school and the demolition of the welfare hall it was necessary to find a new and convenient location.

Initially, the luncheon club used the new community wing at the school, however, Cathy and the luncheon club quickly realised the venue was not suitable. The Festival Cottages was considered as a possible venue, however, Anne McDonnell, Places for People kindly offered the luncheon club a home at Kirkdale Court.

Cathy and the luncheon club were delighted to accept the offer with the large kitchen and comfortable community room it was a perfect location. The membership of the luncheon club has increased from 21 to 32 since it relocated to Kirkdale Court. Cathy wants to thank Places for People and in particular Anne McDonnell for their kindness and warm welcome.

The luncheon club not only provides the senior members of the community a hearty nutritious meal, it is also a vital lifeline and provides many residents with an opportunity to meet other members of the community and develop friendships.
