Friendship 2000

Community Activities for the Young at Heart

This popular group meets on alternate Tuesdays at 2pm with the exception of August. Membership numbers are in excess of seventy, with an average weekly attendance of fifty. There is no set membership fee, but a voluntary offering is taken at each meeting.

The varied programme includes speakers, quizzes, fun and craft afternoons, entertainers, outings, an auction for a local charity and the occasional scrumptious buffet meal. ‘Chat and a cuppa’ feature every time we meet. Food, Fun and friendship – can’t be bad.

This is a group that proves not only that ‘life begins at sixty’ but also that such liveliness lasts when there is something good to anticipate. Friendship 2000 is noted for the love and support it gives in time of need.

Additional Activities

Midweek Worship

Once a month on Tuesdays at 12.30pm we hold a short act of worship, much appreciated by those who attend. For those who stay on to Friendship 2000 there is a ample time to eat a packed lunch and share in provided warm drinks before that meeting begins.

Out and About

About 16 outings are on offer to members of the community in 2008, three of them in August.

The coach has four departure points: Manor Green Walk, Carlton; and three in Bulwell – Cantrell Road & Turnberry Road bus stops on St Albans Road and outside the URC on Broomhill Road. Pre booked meals are often included and at least one journey takes us to the seaside. For details, telephone 0115 927 8187.

Monthly Lunch at Newstead Restaurant NCN (Clarendon)

From September to June a group book into lunch at this college based restaurant once a month on a Thursday. Details from 0115 927 8187.
