Lapworth Elderberries

Hello you lovely people. We have recently entered our 37th Birthday
year, and are now seeking new members, so if you are keen to get out
more, meet new friends, and get involved with our little afternoon
group, let me tell you a little about who we are, and what we do.
We meet every Tuesday afternoon – apart from during August – in
Lapworth Village Hall from 2-4pm. We are, at the moment, a
membership of 30 people, both ladies and gentlemen, ages from early
70’s to mid 90’s.

Our activities are varied over each month. We have a “Free and Easy”,
when we play cards, play scrabble, or just sit and chat until tea, and
biccys. Our Committee (The Elderflowers) have their meeting at this
time, to arrange future events etc. We have one meeting where we
play “Card Bingo” – nothing at all like the normal bingo. This is a card
eliminating game, and the winners receive a small prize. This is very
popular with our members. Then, on another day, we have a lovely
lady who teaches us to stay fit and supple with “chair” pilates – again,
this is well received by our members, but not mandatory – if you don’t
want to, then don’t. Some of our members don’t, and that’s okay, you
can play cards or just chat. If there are five Tuesdays in a month, we
have a very simple quiz, again with a prize for the winner. On the last
Tuesday of the month, we provide a ”snack” lunch for everyone. This
may take the form of Soup & French bread, Ploughman’s Lunch, or a
variety of sandwiches. We have “special” lunches at Christmas and
“Birthday” times.

If any of the above appeals to you, why not get in touch, or drop in to
see us. We are ready to welcome anyone, you don’t have to live in
Lapworth, we have members who come from as far as Pinley, Wootton
Wawen, Hockley Heath, Knowle and Dorridge.

All we ask is that you get yourself to the Village Hall, as we cannot
provide transport. Telephone Mal on 07541 999 689

We also have a “sister” group for Short Mat Bowling, which may be of
interest to you. They meet on Fridays at Lapworth Village Hall from
12-2pm. Telephone Pat on 01564 78 2976 for more details.
