Money raised for the Smile Train

The Smile Train is a charity that organizes volunteer surgeons from the UK to travel to developing countries to help children with cleft lips and palates. Without their help millions of children would be condemned to a lifetime or malnutrition, shame and isolation. The Smile Train empowers local surgeons to provide life-change free surgery which costs as little at £150. With the support of the Waterside selling knitting and other fundraising activities throughout the year Anne Armstrong has been able to send a cheque for £250 to support the Smile Train so thanks for your support.

Christmas Lunch

The centre will be open from 10am for teas and coffees. Leigh will also have a stall from 11am and a lady from To have to hold vintage will be playing some music to keep everyone entertained. The lunch is in the Pavilion Hall so everyone needs to be in the hall and sat down by 12pm ready for lunch to be served. The raffle will be at 2pm.

Lunches price increase
From 1st January 2015 the price of the lunches will be £6 for 2 courses and £5 for a main meal only. We have subsidised our lunches for a long time but in the light of funding cuts from the council we now need to bring our prices up in line with other lunch clubs. I know you will agree that £6 for the wonderful, freshly cooked meals that Mark serves is still brilliant value!
