The December Newsletter will be sent out on 1st December. Once again, many thanks to Margaret Whilde & Lindsay Smith for printing off copies for those members not on email and for delivering them on their morning walks.

We had a Broomhill Birthday lunch on the 26th November, 2021, for June Flint.

We enjoyed our annual outing to the Blue Diamond Garden Centre at East Bridgford on 19th November; the restaurant was very packed but we all managed to do some Christmas shopping.

We have not planned any social activities in our homes for the time being.

Lunch Group

by WebmasterLunch GroupPosted on Comments are Disabled

Our second Lunch Group in nineteen months was on Wednesday, 24th November, 2021 at Sprinters in Arnold when 27 of us sat down to dine. Once again the restaurant did not want our pre-orders or any deposits so that wasn’t so difficult to organise.

The Christmas Lunch at the Albert Hall on Wednesday, 15th December,2021 is now booked and we look forward to what is always a lovely meal and venue.

Our local venue for January is The Nabb Inn which has just had a major refurbishment. I am taking names now so please reserve your place for Wednesday, 26th January, 2022.

I have also booked the February lunch for the 23rd at The Shepherd’s Rest, Bagthorpe; it’s a little more difficult to find but I will post directions and menus in January for pre-booking. If you have any favourite restaurants or recommendations, please let me know.

Wanted – Grumpy Old Men!

by WebmasterGrumpy Old MenPosted on Comments are Disabled

After the recent enforced period of grumpiness, our Grumpy Old Men group is looking for more members to join them. We take it in turns to organize a day out to a place or activity of interest within reasonable distance of Hucknall, usually once a month.

Before lockdown, some of our recent visits had been to the Museum of Timekeeping at Upton (everyone arrived early), Nottingham Council House for a guided tour, and Nottingham Justice Centre (no-one was locked up).

We hope to resume our activities in early 2022 all being well. If you are sufficiently grumpy, you can get in touch by email via the form below or have a chat with John Tedstone at the next monthly meeting on Wednesday 12th January, 2022.
