Cook’s Meeting, Chair Exercises and Quiz on a Friday morning.
The Cook’s Meetings continue to be popular. This month the meeting will be asked again to name a country. The kitchen will then design a suitable menu reflecting the cuisine of the country. The Swiss themed meal on 31st October was excellent, and enjoyed by all. The Exercise Class on a Friday led by Linda is proving popular and going from strength to strength.
