A social group providing space for people aged over 50 in Frome is thriving with 100 members.
The Frome and District Friendship Club started in 1999 and meets in the Assembly Rooms, behind the Memorial Theatre.
Chairman Pete Dayman-Johns said the group is ‘thriving’ and continues to welcome people aged 50 plus to meet new friends and enjoy a lunch for the cost of £12. The group also runs regular events, including bingo and coach trips to destinations such as Weymouth, Exeter, Bournemouth and Poole.
Pete said, “Although people don’t have to be lonely to come, anyone can attend from anywhere, not just Frome. It’s a great way to meet new friends or just enjoy a nice dinner, pudding and a cup of tea.
“Disability access is also no problem for anyone with disabilities or access needs.”
The group meets from 11am to 3.30pm on Mondays and from 11am to 1.30pm on Thursdays.
