Luncheon club is 20 not out

Blythe Bridge Luncheon Club, part of Moorlands Home Link,celebrated its 20th birthday last week.

Members were joined in the celebrations by present and pastvolunteers, along with guests which included Peter Warrilow,chairman of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council.

The celebration included a special buffet followed byentertainment by the ladies of the Blythe Bridge Singers.

Around 25 housebound people are picked up each week in one ofHome Link's minibuses and brought to the Methodist Church Hall inGreen Lane for socialising.

The group also does various activities, including easy exercise,and has a hot meal cooked in Home Link's kitchen at Cheadle. Thegroup does its own fundraising so it can have trips out and lastweek visited Trentham Gardens.
