Clubs for the over 60's - Gillian Stoneman (10th Nov 2008 - 11:58:15) The club that my father has been going to in Whitehill is about to close so I was wondering if anyone could recomend a club. Hes a very social person so sitting at home on his own is not a good idea.

Re: Clubs for the over 60's - Helen Kay (11th Nov 2008 - 13:21:18) Hi I know that Age Concern run lunches at the Millennium Centre every Wednesday - the lunch is cooked there, served to everyone at their table, and costs £2 (ish). It's nice food, and quite a lot of people go. I think that there is also an Over 60s club on Wednesday afternoon at the Liphook Village Hall. I don't know anything more about it - I just used to drop a lady off there after the Age Concern lunch! I suggest that you contact the Millennium Hall, and/or the Liphook Village Hall for details. There are contact details on notices at each venue. Hope you manage to find something suitable!

Re: Clubs for the over 60's - Chris (11th Nov 2008 - 14:48:37) There is also quite an extensive list of clubs published at the back of the Liphook Magazine. They are mainly hobby clubs but you may find something there.

Re: Clubs for the over 60's - Barbara (11th Nov 2008 - 18:04:24) How old is your father? There is a difference in what one would like to do at 60, which is the new 50, and what one can manage to do at aged 80-90

Re: Clubs for the over 60's - Gillian Stoneman (11th Nov 2008 - 22:17:02) My Father in 76. Not as good on his feet as he used to be and is now unable to drive. He likes to have a good natter and listen to other people. thanks to every one who has posted a reply so far I am looking into them. Gillian

Re: Clubs for the over 60's - claire (18th Nov 2008 - 10:37:34) Hi , It may be a little too far but the Hasleway Centre in Haslemere seems to have a lot on for seniors.

Re: Clubs for the over 60's - jayfin (3rd Jan 2009 - 23:08:58) U3A has many groups of interest to the over 50's - many members are in their seventies and eighties. There is a monthly talk at the MH plus loads of other things to keep the mind active and provide time for passing a pleasant afternoon.

Re: Clubs for the over 60's - Dawn Hoskins (5th Jan 2009 - 10:08:35) What does U3A stand for? [editor - University of the third age - I think]
