A new group for the men of Newton Aycliffe and surrounding areas who have retired, live alone have a craft or skill that they would like to share with like minded people, play snooker, dominoes, bowls or just sit and talk with people and have a cup of tea has been formed.
We require a volunteer lady or gentleman cook – any offers please get in touch.
Following on from the ‘New Friends, New Places’ group, mainly for ladies, that has successfully ran for 11 years with 52 members attending every week, where many lifelong friends have been made. They enjoy outings, holidays and activities – boredom and loneliness are a thing of their past.
The thought that men should have the same opportunity was borne.
We welcome all gentlemen over the age of 40 years to come to our first meeting on Monday 9th December 2019 at 11.00am.
The venue for this inaugural meeting will be Unit 14a I.E.S. Centre (formerly Underground Mining Machinery offices) which is off Horndale Avenue, Jowett Way.
It is 5 minutes walk from Simpasture Crossing /Playday Nursery and 5 minutess from Blue Bridge /Newton Press offices.
The post code to find via your satnav is DL5 6DR, car parking facilities are available as is free wi-fi.
Please don’t be daunted by the thought of walking into a room of strangers just remember “A stranger is just a friend you do not know.”
Make this a friendly Christmas.
