Monday Club
Monday Club provides an opportunity to meet up with friendly village ladies who enjoy a regular afternoon event in the Millard
Suite in the Village Hall. We meet once a fortnight in the term time from 2.30 to 4.00 and aim to provide a varied programme of
events. We book speakers several times a term, and in between those meetings organise our own entertainment eg quizzes,
bringing in items of interest to discuss etc. Each meeting finds room for the ubiquitous cup of tea and biscuits and general chat,
and we also hold a small raffle. Each member pays a £1 and occasionally brings a small raffle prize. We even have the regular
attendance of two dogs who speak most highly of the biscuits!
Twice a year we have an outing, once in November for a pre-Christmas shop usually at the Huntingdon Wyevale Garden centre
(it is amusing how the whole of Monday Club descends on the shoe department!), and once in the summer to a place of interest
not too far from Buckden. We use the HACT community bus service which is friendly, especially if we manage to secure Paul as
driver, who looks after us superbly well. We do have the ability to manage wheelchairs and always visit somewhere that is
wheelchair friendly. And of course, we find time for tea and cake or lunch depending on the time of day.
In June we hold a strawberry tea in Jane and Andy Scott’s garden weather permitting, where we can enjoy the outdoors under
gazebos if the weather is hot, or indoors if not.
We also have a Christmas lunch, usually shortly after Christmas, and the last few years it has been at The Lion where we have
been very well looked after by Jill and her team.
Transport is provided to the meetings for anyone who needs it.
So, if you fancy giving it a go, either just turn up (the next month’s meeting is always advertised in The Roundabout) or give Jane
Scott a ring on 01480 811468 or Betty Millard on 1480 810087).
