^ Summer Outings for Seniors (SOS)

We hope to resume our 'Summer Outings for Seniors' again, every second Thursday afternoon we'll take the mini bus and go places, have fun and fellowship and enjoy an afternoon out together, generally from around 1.30pm and returning at 5.30pm. In order to be able to facilitate the outings - would you like to be part of the organising team? You could help as a minibus driver, you could suggest and plan a destination and guide us, or you could be a back-up-team member, who comes along, helps collect people from their homes and make sure they have a helping hand when getting on and off the mini bus. Our first meeting to organise this year's SOS is for Thursday, 19th May at 7.30pm in Room A.

Please think about it, keep the date free and come along!
