The Darby & Joan Club is open to anyone over the age of 60 and meets fortnightly on a Thursday afternoon between 2pm and 4.15pm.

For the first hour of the meeting members either play Whist or Dominoes (we also have a scrabble board for those not interested in the above).  Following this we have a few games of Bingo for small prizes (generally chocolate based!). 

We also have a competition where members bring an item to be judged by the helpers – points are awarded and at the annual Birthday party a silver tray is awarded to the member with the most points.

We also have a raffle of small items each week – each member brings something and then buys a raffle ticket and takes home a prize.

This is then followed by afternoon tea – homemade sandwiches and cakes provided by the helpers.

Other activities during the year include two outings, one in June and one in September.

There is also a coffee morning in the Spring and an Autumn Fayre in October.  The annual Birthday Party is held in November and the year is rounded off with a Christmas Dinner at the Dacre Arms.

We are always on the lookout for new members and anyone interested can contact any of the following for advice and information.

Mrs. Margaret Cundill (Leader) on 543203
