Netherton Friendship Club
The NFC meets each Tuesday from 10.30am-1.30pm except after Bank
Holiday Mondays. Membership is open to those over 60 years of age and
helpers of any age are welcome.
The group is based at St Andrew's but is not exclusively a Church
group. It was originally set up with the help of Age UK in 2002 and
has a regular membership of 60.
The NFC is a lively group which enjoys a varied weekly programme. Activities range from board games or quizzes to armchair aerobics but there is always time to sit and chat. There is usually a speaker on topics such as local history, financial matters or even holiday snaps. A highlight of the day is a cooked lunch prepared by volunteers in the Church kitchen.
The group also has occasional fund raising sales and two or three trips a year to local places of interest.
Members pay a subscription each week which covers the cost of the day's activities and includes tea, coffee, biscuits and lunch.
