This year, with the help of the tm active team, the Tonbridge Lions Club re-established their “Senior Citizens’ Post Christmas Party”. The event was held at the Angel Centre and over 100 invited guests were entertained by members of the club and their Friends to a mix of songs from the shows, comedy numbers, jazz and monologues.
During the half time interval the guests were served with an “afternoon tea” of sandwiches, cakes and cups of tea or coffee all prepared by club members!
A tradition was revived with the oldest guest, Edna (also known as Ena) Bolt, being served her tea by the Mayor of Tonbridge & Malling who this year is Tonbridge Lions club member Councillor James Lark.
On this occasion we also acknowledged the contribution made to the club by Lion Richard Rose who recently passed to higher service having bequeathed a considerable donation to the club charity fund some of which funded the afternoon party.
The second half started with a “silly” game of “heads and shoulders” and ended with community singing led by the Lions and members of the Musical Memories choir.
