The Parish Lunch Club meets once a month (usually the first Saturday, but there are exceptions) in St George’s
Hall at 12.30p.m. for companionship and a friendly informal meal followed by
a Raffle. The cost is £3.00 per head and this includes a drink of sherry or
fruit juice, a hot main course and a sweet, followed by tea or coffee.

The Lunch Club was initiated over 8 years ago by a small team from St
George’s Church who thought that the facilities of a large kitchen and
a handsome hall would be ideally suited to the needs of a Luncheon
Club. From early beginnings, we now cater for 45 on average every
month.
We have a Birthday Lunch out at a local Hostelry every year and the
Raffle is a major part of every meeting. When there is a surplus of
funds we also donate to Charity and last year we gave to The Flood and
Earthquake appeals. |
The Lunch Club is open to all Senior Citizens and is run by Val
Scriven, who is the chief cook, assisted by several others mostly from
St George’s congregation. Some of our members are church goers
and some not. Everyone is welcome and the entrance hall on a
Lunch Club day is full of buggies, wheelie walkers and the occasional
wheelchair. It is an added bonus if there is a wedding on that
Saturday, then we can see the Wedding guests arrive in all their finery.
