One of Upchurch’s longest running weekly groups closed it’s doors this afternoon after an amazing 68 years!
Upchurch Darby & Joan has hosted weekly meetings for older residents from Upchurch and the surrounding area for over six decades and was an important lifeline for many of it's members, offering friendly support and the chance to meet up, have a chat and enjoy one another's company.
The Clubs 40 members enjoyed a farewell party today, with a buffet, raffle, games of bingo and music performed by singer Trevor Styles. Everybody received a farewell gift of sweets and a wrapped crockery cup and saucer set to make one final cup of tea in.
Thanks go to regular organisers, Jean sims and Doll Patrick, Diane Macaulay and everyone else who has helped run the Club over the years.
Members plan to meet up for one final time and enjoy a cream tea together, sometime in March.
