Christmas/Jubilee Meal 22/05/2022
Well if 42 is the Meaning Of Life, then the forty two who attended the meal at Kensington House had plenty of life in us. This was a combination of the much delayed Christmas 2019 Meal and an early Queen’s Jubilee Meal. A marvellous spread was provided by Scrummies and we enjoyed a Quiz, Irish Bingo, a Raffle and even an Irish Bingo Raffle. A great afternoon with good food, good company and a lot of laughs. Thanks to the Kensington House staff, Nicky from Scrummies for the food and service, Phil for the Bingo, the helpers dressing the tables, and most of all Brenda for all her hard work organising the event.
Hi – all those who have shown interest in this trip either by text , telephone calls or emails can you please pay asap – by Tuesday 24th May if possible, as the Hall requires a deposit to confirm our booking. This is the only date given to us for the foreseeable future to view the ‘Shifting Sands’ art posters in the grounds. Thank you – Maureen

We are to have a tour of Lytham Hall after lunch at the nice café on site and a roam around the grounds to view the posters which are rather large and outdoors.
Shifting Sands, by Nicky Thomson, is an art trail set within
the grounds of Lytham Hall. It’s a collection of 12 new works celebrating the art of the travel poster, which has strong historical links to the Fylde – the coming of the railway heralded the start of tourism for the Fylde.
