Groups
Slide 8
Bingo wings – Members meet 1 – 3 times a week for Bingo and a fish tea, a percentage of their winning is pooled to fund day trips to Inverary and Blackpool.
Slide 9
Cast Off knitting group – Meet every second Thursday at Jean’s house, Isa attends most weeks, mainly for the company – she is a terrible knitter!
Slide 10
Kings Tobacco Company – A decreasing membership as the ex-workforce ages. They have annual reunions, which are poorly attended – Isa goes because she likes having the opportunity to dress up and catch up with the latest news – mainly ‘hatches and dispatches’! Her best friend, Effy does not go, because she has an incontinence problem and so tends to avoid formal, public occasions.
