 Senior Citizens' Party

 

On Saturday 18th January, it was lovely to see 160 guests enjoying themselves at the East Grinstead Lions Club tea party and social event. The event was supported by volunteers from Being Neighbourly, lively MC Hilary, David Kent (who organised the entertainment) the St John Ambulance team and many wonderful volunteers who helped make the afternoon such a success.

 

The afternoon entertainment commenced with a colourful belly dancing display by the EG Goddesses followed the dulcet tones of Stepping Out (a Barbershop quartet) who serenaded the audience at their tables and later performed a set onstage.

 

After a delicious afternoon tea, the fabulous jazz singer and Meridian FM radio presenter, Jenny Green, followed up with a set of well-known songs and invited guests to come onto the dancefloor to dance. East Grinstead Town Mayor Steve Ody and MP Mims Davies attended the event and chatted to many of the guests and later stepped out on the dance floor as well.

 

To conclude the afternoon, a raffle draw was held where many lovely prizes were won. The Lions 200 Club draw was also made - with a first prize of £150. Guests were treated to a box of biscuits to take home and transport laid on for the journey home. A great time was had by all!
