PS. For those wondering ‘Wasn’t the last newsletter the Winter newsletter?’, you’re absolutely right! We’re putting our newsletter out every four months now, meaning no more Spring newsletter.

On Thursday March the 21st, we’ll be taking an afternoon trip to the cinema to see ‘The Favourite’.

Visit the event page for more information here:

Contact us in the office if you want to book on!

Our website has now been updated with two new events: our 90+ Party in May and a Harry Potter Tour excursion in June. As always, if you’d like to attend either of these events please ring us on 01455 557116 or call into the office at our shop and ask to speak to Alison, Jane or Lizzie.

Please note that if you downloaded the Winter Newsletter through our website, the 90+ party was listed as taking place in February and as free for a carer/partner/friend. The party will actually be taking place on the 21st of May and tickets for carers/partners/friends will cost £5.

Our photos from the New Year Party are now available here: http://www.ageconcernlutterworth.org.uk/new-year-party-2019/

We had a two course dinner at the Wycliffe Rooms with entertainment and a raffle! It was great seeing so many familiar faces there and we hope to see you all at our other events and activities throughout the year!

There’s been some updates to our site! The Winter 2018-19 newsletter is now available to view here.

We also have new photo galleries for Blenheim Palace and our Christmas Party.

Christmas is coming up and here at Age Concern Lutterworth & District we’re already getting into the swing of the festive season!

This Friday the 30th is the Christmas Lights Switch On, and we’ll be open until 8pm with (limited amounts of) mince pies for sale if you want something to nibble or just to get out of the cold!

On Monday we have over 100 people going out to Blenheim Palace for their Christmas Cinderella Experience, followed by 180 people at our Christmas Party for a four course dinner on Wednesday!

On Saturday and Sunday the 8th and 9th of December it’s the Elf Trail in store, and we’ll be open from 11am – 3pm on Sunday for those hunting the naughty elves.

The store will be open again on Sunday the 16th of September from 11am – 3pm for everyone who still needs to get their shopping done.

We’ll be closed on December the 25th, 26th and 27th, but we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Don’t forget the other events happening around Lutterworth this time of year!

This Sunday the 2nd is the Santa Fun Run – as always, Age Concern Lutterworth is planning on having a team of runners, and we welcome any runners or sponsors! Part of the money raised by the Lutterworth and Lutterworth Wycliffe Rotary clubs this year will go to the Share & Care group, who we’re also a supporter of – find out about their work with those living with dementia and their families on their website here. 

Lutterworth Business Collect is holding a Christmas showcase this Monday the 3rd from 4pm – 8pm at the Wycliffe Rooms, with food, drink and local businesses showcasing a range of gifts and services. Of particular interest is the Lutterworth Security Camera specialists, for those who’ve been considering investing in home security.

On Christmas Day the Wycliffe Rooms is once again hosting a dinner for those who would otherwise be on their own at Christmas.

There’s plenty more going on around Lutterworth and the surrounding villages this Christmas – keep an eye out for the Swift Flash, Lutterworth & District Journal, Country Voice and other periodicals to learn what else is going on!

 

Photo galleries for our Donington Motor Museum and Gordon Boswell Romany Museum trips are now available! Have a look at what we’ve been up to, and consider coming along on one of our trips yourself.
