Greenbank Friendship Club
 |
The Friendship Club is a Community Club supported by the Church. It aims to inspire and entertain with a very varied and interesting syllabus. Meetings are fortnightly during the winter months.
The Club meets at 2pm starting with a talk or entertainment. You are welcome to stay for tea and biscuits where new friendships are made or old ones continued.
Events include a Christmas Party, a Summer Tea Party and Summer Coffee Mornings. The Annual Subscription is £25 but if you are new come for a free meeting first! A single meeting is £3.
For further information and for transport arrangements please contact David Allan or Gillian Sweetman.
