Twenty-five members of Capel Ladies Club met at Hintlesham Golf Club in July for their Farewell Lunch. It was a happy, if rather poignant, occasion. The food was delicious and the staff at the Golf Club were very attentive and helpful, and the mood was a positive one. After the lunch, Chairlady Di Barker said a few words about all the fun times the Club had enjoyed in the past, and mentioned some of the varied activities that members had taken part in over the years. These included Ladies football matches, disco nights, running children’s parties and raising money for a colour TV for Capel Ward in Ipswich Hospital, amongst many others. Over the years members have come and gone, but there are still members who have been coming to the club for over three decades!

Although this is the end of an era for Capel Ladies Club, there are a good number of ladies who are keen for some sort of social meeting hub to continue into the future, and we do have plans to set that in motion. WATCH THIS SPACE! We will welcome ladies from any age group who like social gatherings and who enjoy a variety of things, such as interesting speakers, theatre visits, making friends, and finding out about topics of all kinds. We also eat out from time to time and run socials in the summer and at Christmas. What’s not to like? More information coming soon!
Meanwhile, if you would like to reminisce and remind yourselves about Capel Ladies Club’s past activities, you can still visit the website for a browse! Au Revoir for now!
