The Club was started in 1951 and in 2001 we celebrated our fiftieth anniversary by giving every member an anniversary mug at a celebration dinner. The club is as the name suggests for those members of the Wivenhoe community over sixty years old. Its purpose is to provide a location and atmosphere where by older people of the town can come together and enjoy a friendly two or three hours with their friends. We have a membership of around fifty people, many of whom have been in the club for fifteen or more years. We would therefore welcome new members, particularly those who have recently retired.

capable of giving assistance. For instance our Vice Chairman Georgie Love celebrates his 90th
Birthday on 23rd August. Five of our committee of six are eighty or over,
and still going strong, but there will come a time when we will need
younger members to take the responsibilities of running the club. Doug Stockwell, Chairman
