“Our social calendar is busier than ever, with something for all tastes and abilities.”

“Our House Manager organised a ‘Hoy’ Bingo session this week. I don’t usually attend many social events but have decided to come out of my shell a bit more. I attended this and would like to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was great fun, entertaining and extremely well organised. I’m now looking forward to attending more social events here.”
