STOKENCHURCH DAY CENTRE

We'll be closed on Monday as it's a bank holiday and HM the Queen's funeral. Back on the 26th.

A delightful lunch with all our lovely clients and some of our volunteers at the Piddington Road House today. The staff were exemplary and the service was superb. Hope to go there again soon.

Hi everyone - our Lunch & Social Club (formerly the Day Centre) will have to postpone opening on Wednesdays for a while as our cook Andrea fell at the weekend and broke a finger in her left hand (she's left-handed) as well as splitting her thumb on her right hand. We can manage tomorrow with help from our Treasurer and others but that will be only temporary so if anyone out there feels that they could help out in the future they would be warmly welcomed. I am always available on message, of course.

A Big Thank You to our wonderful volunteers at the Stokenchurch Lunch & Social Club - Carol Hunt, Mo Lipman, Reg Parsons, Jenny Wade, Jenny Cook, Eileen Messenger, Pauline Studd, Sally Barker and my wife Pat - for making today such a wonderful and joyous occasion and also an enormous Thank You to our cook, Andrea Claesens, for managing - miraculously - to provide a suitably topical (Coronation Chicken) two course meal for more than twenty people as well as providing a Queen Elizabeth quiz.

Our first session of 2022 was a jolly affair with lots of laughter and fun and games. Andrea cooked a lovely meal and the clients - as you can see - enjoyed themselves immensely.

We started back at the beginning of September and Mondays have been extremely rewarding with sometimes as many as eighteen clients sitting down for lunch. Wednesdays have been poorly attended, however, and we are currently closed midweek until we can attract more clients. In November we shall have a visit from the Rev Peter Wainwright who always provides an excellent jovial sing-song - and our Christmas lunch this year will be at the Mercure Lambert Arms on Monday December 13th where we are provided with a private room and excellent service from the friendly staff.

Fingers, eyes and legs crossed but we're hoping to restart the Stokenchurch Lunch & Social Club (formerly the Day Centre) in early September after being closed for eighteen months. Watch these posts for more up-to-date information and let's hope we're back in action soon.
Anyone who is interested in coming in to see how we operate will be welcomed with the customary red carpet and ticker-tap welcome - or something like that at any rate.

To residents of Stokenchurch and surrounding areas. If any of you have a relative - elderly or otherwise - who would like to join us at the Stokenchurch Luncheon Club/Day Centre at Longburrow Hall when we re-open (decisions are to be made soon on when that will be), they would be more than welcome and the fun we intend having (board games, quizzes, entertainers, freshly cooked meals and cakes) would, after a virtual year of horrible Covid restrictions, be like a cloud breaking in a storm and would energise anyone who has been staring at four walls for months. I must emphasise that the club is not a place where people sit and stare at the windows in silence - that's a description more suited to a Care Home which we definitely are not.

Nice to meet up with the gang in the Kings Hotel Stokenchurch yesterday. Let's make it a regular date until we're able to open our Lunch & Social club again.
