Bexhill Senior Citizens' Club

A BOTTLE of Chivas Regal Scotch, a bread-maker, a slow-cooker, a fine crystal bowl and a grilling machine were just a few of the many desirable raffle prizes carried away by happy members this week.

The proceeds of 212 will be put towards the ongoing club refurbishments.

Recently the club was pleased to learn that one member, Jennifer Wilson the actress, has completed her successful tour throughout the UK in Agatha Christie's play And Then There Were None and will now move to St Martin's Theatre, London, on March 9 to appear in Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, where she will be under contract to 2010.

Many people will remember Jennifer from her starring role in the popular tv series The Brothers, which ran for many episodes in the Seventies.

All the group activities at the club are currently being well supported, i.e. bingo, bridge and whist, dancing, American dominoes, computer classes, creative writing, keep-fit for ladies, mat bowls, pool, table tennis, darts etc, as well as a monthly social evening.

The choir, who are currently rehearsing for their forthcoming summer concert, would welcome a few new male voices,.

As well as day-to-day activities there are coach trips organised from time to time, as well as an annual November five-day Turkey and Tinsel holiday, the details of which will be announced shortly.
