Valentine Club (Over-60s)
The Valentine Club encourages members of our community that have attained the magic age of 60 to join them. It holds meetings on the third Tuesday of each month in the village hall with speakers, films, slide shows or entertainers. This is always accompanied by tea, cake and sandwiches, a raffle and information relevant to the rural needs of the new 40 year olds!
The club also arranges regular day and half-day coach trips at subsidised prices and additional activities such as Old Time Music Halls, computer classes or visits to other local clubs.
Richard, the club chairman, says, "This is the fastest growing club in Steeple Aston as all us baby boomers retire." Anyone aged 60 plus is welcome to turn up to a meeting and they will be made most welcome. Alternatively you can find out more by contacting Richard. The cost of membership is £5 a year.
