Saturday 03 October
Hi,
October has arrived ! This month we would have been looking forward to our Birthday and President’s Dance and our old favourite ...Halloween ! The rattling this year will not be of chains but the sound of empty beer cans going into the bin (Good morning David) and if you really want the scare factor, just cough or sneeze whilst you are out ! If we were allowed to have ‘mass gatherings’ we could have issued everyone with a broomstick so they could keep a distance apart on the dance floor ! Would have been really interesting on the slow dances !! We are now entering our 7th month of no Club events and we have had to learn the new language - lock down, self isolating, bubbles. (Bring back the times when the bubbles we loved were floating around in the Prosecco !) and we now don’t only have to remember where our keys and phones are but also the suitcase containing masks, hand sanitisers, tissues, the wipes for when the glasses fog up and the oxygen tank for when the latest mask is just too tight so you can’t breath and your ears drop off ! Socially we can talk 2 metres apart (how many inches is this ?) we can bump elbows (but no hugging - which was always the best bit!), How times have changed ! It’s great to see Members posting on Facebook - it’s a way of keeping in touch but also lovely to see our people celebrating birthdays and anniversaries (all within the guidelines of course). Some really good news is that Mel has (at last) had his operation and is feeling really good and tucking into sausages and fish and chips - something he hadn’t been able to do for a while. Don’t forget - if any of you find a black hole appearing we are all just on the end of a telephone. Although we are not up and running as we used to know it the messages of the Club stays the same - we are here for anybody who needs us - pick that phone up ! The BIG PLUS is that with every month that goes by we are one month closer to our next dance ! Stay safe, take care - and don’t forget ......WE WILL BE BACK !
Best wishes from Marion and the rest of your committee:
Andy, Carol, David, Eric, Marlene, Maureen, Mel, Rodney, Ruby & Russell.
