Hi Vanessa I'm so happy all's going well at your club sounds so cool just my thing I would love the line dancing for sure. You could do a bring and buy sale to raise funds. Our Monday club have a bring and buy sale to raise money for our outings and of course hiring a bus. It's also a good way for everyone to get rid of their junk which is always another person's treasure they say and to raise money for our club at the same time. The afternoon tea at garden centre this Monday came out of our funds and so did the money for the bus to take us there and back. We're now saving up for our Christmas dinner oh better not mention that it's just too scary but it won't be long the way the year's flying by. I have noticed at our clubs it's mainly elderly people I'm the youngest at all of them although we now have a new member Sarah' and her carer Karen. Sarah's 43 so a bit nearer my age. Age doesn't really matter to me that much as I do get on well with the elderly members but having someone your own age can be nice. Love Clare xxxx.
