Middleton Memories
We celebrated Leeds Older Persons week on 30th September 2019. We had a photo exhibition of our 2020 Calendar, which was on Sale at a subsidized cost of £4.00 each, we sold over 100 Calendars to our members. Look out for next years Calendars later on in the year.
We thought why wait till Christmas for our Party. So we booked the Conservative Club for a Summer Party and invited Tony Holland as Elvis Tribute. This was a great afternoon with 150 of our members joining us. We had bingo, a raffle, buffet and lots of dancing. We are now looking forward to our Christmas Party at the Conservative Club on Wednesday 18th December 12.00-4.00 with entertainment from Comedian/Singer Paul Holt. Tickets will go on sale 4th November from our Charity Shop or Social Centre.
Our annual Summer Fayre was on Saturday 13th July at our Social Centre. We was so busy we even sold out of buns. We also sold over 100 bacon butties and had a special guest appearance by Peppa Pig. We made a whopping total of over £1,300. We would like to Thank everyone who supported us, either by volunteering, donating a prize, buying that raffle ticket or just turning up on the day. Every little helps to go back into our Charity funds to help subsidize more activities for the over 60s in Middleton.
We are now preparing for our Xmas Fayre on Saturday 30th November 10.00-2.00. Any Donations are welcomed to go towards our Raffle and Tomobola Stalls. Put it in your diary. Why not pop down and join us and grab yourself a bargain too.
