It will include the usual Bingo, Cup of tea, and gentle exercises with Julie. We will also have a discussion on the organising of special occasions and outings for the coming year. While not drawing attention to the fact that you are a year older than you were this time last year, it is certainly telling us that we have reached a time when we will be welcome at the Senior Citizens Group. Come along and bring others.
