Peter has been the leader of the Abingdon Monday Club for nineteen years, and the members love his sense of fun. He is planning one more year to make it twenty, and hopefully, somebody else can be found to take over. He is helped by his wife, Alison, and Helen, the chairman, who has been doing it even longer. Other volunteers also make this club possible.
On Sunday, they took members to the annual pantomime in Swindon. It was good, apart from one joke about Oxford United. Swindon Town are local rivals.
On Monday, there was a concert by the Abingdon Town Band. The banter between Steve Rich (band leader) and Monday Club members was hilarious in between songs. It was an enjoyable concert with lots of Christmas favourites.
On Monday, the club said goodbye to Brian, who used to organise bingo and other activities at the club, as he has died, and club members were saddened by the news.
Was this post edited? I could have sworn there was a comment t in there about volunteers not getting any younger……
Hi Colin
Well spotted. I did edit it. I remembered that they have one new volunteer who although not young is younger and so removed that.
