Pre-Christmas lunch Owners could treat their friends and family to a nice three course Christmas dinner. On Christmas Day Owners got together for a glass of mulled wine and mince pies followed by a great meal at lunch.
Once again Owners of Alston Court gathered together to celebrate the beginning of the festive season with a mug of mulled wine, mince pies and a lot of laughter. Well done to all the winners of the Christmas raffle.
Owners of Alston Court gathered together to celebrate the Golden Anniversary of Mr & Mrs Lovedays. Massive congratulations to a wonderful couple.
A coffee morning at Alston Court organised by one of the lovely owners, Maureen, saw owners and their friends raising a fantastic £250.50 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Owners joined together for a great experience of a traditional afternoon tea party, entertained by Magician Michael. What a great fun we all had.
Alston Court continued celebrating summer with Pimm's on the patio. Owners had loads of fun at a Hawaiian style party with a few glasses of Pimm's, nibbles and great music. What a great day to celebrate Summer.
We were very blessed with the glorious sunshine, loads of food and soft drinks. And finally, a little surprise for the owners, guitarist Raffaele joined in and played a few lovely tunes. Owners of Alston Court joined together for an evening Indian meal organised by one of our lovely owners Maureen.
Owners at Alston Court enjoyed a fabulous evening with fine wines and a delicious array of excellent cheeses that would tempt any cheese lover. One of our owners, Mrs Lindsay, organised Alston's Macmillan Coffee Morning, and we supplied teas served by a glamourous assistant. The event raised £352.50.
We are pleased to say that our Dining Room is open following the relaxation of COVID restrictions. Our lounge is open for coffee but not for organised events until the 21st June. We are open for Helen with our Wednesday 'Keep Fit' Class, and Gill from Nail Candy. Several events have been booked with a birthday party, a buffet and entertainer in early July and Pimm's on the Patio in late August. The monthly Quiz Nights are restarting in September and the Whist Drive in July.
The re-turfing of the driveway lawns has been completed and the wisteria in the main rear garden is in full bloom. Below are a few photos of Alston Court's gardens.
On the 17th May our dining room is re-opening which will allow owners to socialise more. We wait to see detailed government instructions as to whether the rule of six will apply.
Later that week Helen our fitness coach is starting a series of six exercise classes. On June 21st (the first day social activities can restart) one of our owners wants her birthday party to be held in the lounge. Also restarting will be our monthly whist drive (1st Thursday) and also the quiz nights (3rd Thursday) together with our regular coffee morning and chat nights. In early July we have a Court arranged social event with a buffet and entertainment with Daryl Kane. In August we will be holding the ‘Pimms on the Patio’ event which is always very well attended. On the same day the new Court Manager, Julie, takes over following the retirement of Andrew who has been in charge for the last 14¾ years. After a wet October one of our Duty Managers, Julie, decided to cheer everyone up in November by raising money for Macmillan Nurses with 'Brave the Shave' event. She raised a fantastic sum of £1,600!
