Catching Up

Dear members and website visitors,

I hope you all are well and healthy. We haven’t posted for a while but we are back!

The centre has been running on just a few activities with social distancing and masks since August. There was Tai Chi and Yoga and also gardening that has been like a safe way of meeting for a few members as it was in the open space outside. We even had an “Unplanned picnic” on the last day of July!

We had a just the members that could make it at very short notice and some classical music playing in the background from a band that were rehearsing in the hall.

It was a lovely day and for many, this was the first day out after a long while. So everyone pretty much enjoyed this.

Find a few photos below.

STANSTEAD LODGE DRAMA GROUP PERFORMANCE 3/10/19

The Drama group, lead by Judy Gordon has been funded by Lewisham for 2 consecutive years.

In September 2019 they were part of the Sixty Up’s programme in where all the group performed at the Sydenham Arts.

In October last year, as part of our Open Day, they gifted us with this performance which was developed by the group themselves and was titled Anniversary. This was inspired by the official picture of the Opening by Queen Mary of the Darby and Joan Club in 1949.

Elie Constantinou, one of the members of the group couldn’t take part in our Open Day, so Cathy Ashley took up the challenge and performed the role that Eli had developed herself to help the group out. I think Cathy is a natural but tell me what you think!

We hope you enjoy it!
