What do we do?
In many ways we are still doing many of the things we did in the early days but we have moved with the times and our friendship and service are still central to our success.
After over 60 years, we continue to provide sandwiches and cake at the meetings for Open Sight, the club for the visually impaired, and have arranged a Christmas Party for them every year until Covid curtailed such events. This year we entertained the club members and carers with Afternoon Tea, which was a great success. Maybe a new tradition has been started.
Locally, we support Knellwood fete, Farnborough Donkey Derby and Kids Out every year, and the very popular Music in the Park weekend every 2 years. Any monies raised go to local charities. Last year saw us sewing scrubs for the local hospital and this year we have helped the RVS with the donation and sorting of clothing for the Afghan relocation scheme in Hampshire and sewn 76 masks for the charity School in a Bag.
At our meetings we enjoy a range of different speakers, from charities such as The Leprosy Mission, to local people who tell us about their community work or their hobbies. Recently, a talk on Bee-keeping and honey production was very interesting.
A new innovation is our fun Bake-off afternoon which proved to be very popular and will be repeated this year. If we can laugh and enjoy meetings together like this, we will continue to thrive and move forward.
