Open House for the over 50′s

Do you or anyone you know, ever feel
bored, lonely or at a loose end
on a Thursday afternoon?

Why not drop into the Community Centre between 1.30 and 4pm where we will always try and make people welcome. There is always the chance to play SHORT MAT BOWLS and TABLE TENNIS – don’t be afraid if you haven’t played for 20 years, we will encourage you to start again.

For the less active we have SCRABBLE, RUMMIKUB and other board games, and we are always open to new suggestions.

 

If you know of anyone who might be interested in other activities such as a discussion group especially for men, history, family histories, bridge, chess, getting to know more about your computer, or exploring the Downs on our doorstep, please encourage them to drop in, have a chat over tea or coffee,and let us know what they would like to do (not just on a Thursday afternoon). You might be surprised to find others who have similar interests who we can put you in touch with.

We meet every Thursday afternoon at the Community Centre
in Warren Rd from 1.30 – 4pm

Castle Hill Nature Reserve

There is a very interesting Nature Reserve almost on our doorstep.

At least five orchids can be found on the reserve including a large collection of the Early Spider Orchid – a European orchid that is only found in a few places in the South of England. This particular orchid is in flower now – and may be at its peak over the next few days.

The wild flowers are prolific at certain times of the year – well worth taking a wild flower book along to help identify some of them.

Later in the year it might be possible to see the wart biter cricket.

There is also a new archaeological dig within the reserve of a farm house built in 1831 with interesting local connections.

If you are interested in exploring the reserve – or just walking across the Downs with others – why not get in touch.
