Alcester 41 Club

There’s some kind of theme being here. This time it’s the chaos attacking the Christmas dinner with much verve and vigour

Here are the guys at our Christmas dinner this year being hosted by The Blue Boar

We were in charge of Father Christmas’ progress in Alcester this evening. Here he is aboard his sleigh in Oversley Green. Thanks to Alcester & Stratford District Round Table .

A record number of walkers (17) set out, this morning, on the Alcester 41 Club Christmas Walk. A chilly, foggy morning deterred no-one as we climbed Oversley Hill into the the clear air above affording the usual gorgeous views towards Ragley and the distant Cotswolds.

The now traditional lunch this year was at The Fish Wixford whose staff surpassed themselves in service and excellent food. During the meal the group was silenced just long enough for Chairman David (he is the one with the tree growing out of his head) to pass a cheque for £170.00 to Jude Bowley from The Shakespeare Hospice Friends, this being monies raised at our recent 40th Charter Night and in recognition of the excellent service to the community delivers by the hospice.

A further, similar sum has been sent to Pancreatic Cancer UK to help in the work they do in research into a cure for this disease.

Last night 41 Club celebrated its 40th birthday with a grand dinner in the Town Hall. Other 41ers from far and wide came to help us celebrate with great food and company
