“Our social calendar is busier than ever, with something for all tastes and abilities.”
“Our hectic social calendar continues to expand in all directions, giving everyone an opportunity to take part in something they enjoy. For instance, we devoted our weekly coffee morning to Marie Curie and thoroughly enjoyed raising the princely sum of £313.99.”
“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’m now looking forward to attending more social events here.”
