A friend of mine has been asked to join the organising committee of her local community centre.

They are thinking of opening it up on Sunday afternoons as they're aware it can be a difficult or lonely day for some older people who have been widowed and don't have family living nearby.

Some activities that have been proposed are card games, tea dances and a monthly table quiz.

I said I'd ask on here if

A. Those activities would interest you

B. Are there any other activities you would suggest?

Thanks

A gentle ramble, maybe accompanied by an expert in some theme such as architecture, ornithology, local history, botany to point out things along the way. End up with refreshments at the centre. It's amazing how we pass things every day and never really look at them.

If you have to stay in, is there space and the wherewithal to organise a repair workshop? People are looking to save money these days and repairing rather than replacing is the way to go.
