MEMBERS of St Hilda’s Church Luncheon Club got together for a festive lunch.

The 26 members of the Cowcliffe club and its leaders, Brian and Jean Leeming, pictured, entertained the club’s cooks and volunteers at a gala Christmas dinner at Bradley Golf Club.

The oldest member of the club, 96-year-old Florence Haigh, of Birkby, said: “This club has for the past 31 years provided a weekly oasis to the over 70s and lonely men and women in the community.

“We want to say thank you to St Hilda’s Church and its members for providing this service.”
