Safari Supper Returns to North Luffenham…
**NEW** WINTER WARMER DROP INS. ** NEW**
The Good Companions Club is arranging a weekly “winter warmer drop in” at the Community Centre during the winter period, starting from Thursday 12th January, and thereafter every Thursday through to the 2nd March, between 1pm and 3pm. We want to offer somewhere warm and inviting for anyone that wants to come along, with the promise of free tea/coffee/cake…and a great way to enjoy the company of fellow villagers. If you have a jigsaw puzzle or reading books you’d like to swap, play cards and board games, or simply to spend a couple of hours in a warm place… it’s entirely up to you. All are welcome, just come along on the day.
For anyone that would be willing to volunteer in helping out it would be hugely appreciated, please speak to Alison on 07769 322551 for more details.
THE STAGE IS SET FOR TONIGHT’S PANTO PERFORMANCE STARTING @ 7.30pm
WRAP UP WARM & COME AND SUPPORT OUR LOCAL THESPIANS!
