Today’s the day! 16 October; Village Hall; 2.30pm

The Holcot Hotspot will open its doors again at 2.30pm and then run on every third Thursday afternoon during the colder months (except December). Whether you’re 19 or 109, it’s an ideal chance to meet fellow adult residents over low-cost refreshments, friendly company and chat. And, if you’re so inclined, to join in sociable activities using all the games equipment in the Village Hall.

So if you fancy having a go at indoor bowls, table-tennis, snooker, darts, cards or dominoes, come on down! And if you’d sooner just come along for a good old-fashioned chin-wag over a nice warming cuppa, you’re equally welcome!

It’s a wonderful opportunity to socialise with existing friends – and make new friends with fellow residents you may not have previously known.

The Holcot Hotspot is not a club, so there’s no membership fee. And, until further notice, there’s no charge for entry. The refreshments, which include biscuits, tea and coffee are charged at cost, so it’s no more expensive than being at home!

Do join us – just turn up – we look forward to seeing you there!

If you (or someone you know) would like help to get to the Village Hall,
please call 07785 347297.
