Owners joined us for wine, whisky and songs galore for a very special Burns evening. We also welcomed Jim the Piper and David Walsh the Pianist for our entertainment for the evening. John our chef prepared a beautiful three course meal followed by cheese and biscuits, with mints and coffee to finish. Brompton would like to give a special thanks to our owner Gordon Duff for being our Chieftain and Suzie our Duty Manager for organising the event.

Before...  After...   Many thanks to John Barrington for organising the Christmas Carols 2019 and keeping the tradition going. It was a lot of fun and we all had a good sing. The mulled wine and mince pies were a welcome start to the Christmas season too.
A fabulous celebration was facilitated by Kathleen and the team at Holmesdale; a good time was had by all.
Eastbank's Christmas Party Weekend, which was held on 14th and 15th December for the Owners and their families, proved to be another very popular event and was a great success thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mr Graham organised another impressive raffle raising an amazing £650; the proceeds will be split between St Richard’s Hospice and the Alzheimer’s Society. Laura was also at the Court selling many Christmas goodies, which owners enjoyed looking at and purchasing.
Browning Court enjoyed a second pre-Christmas Lunch with Owners, families and friends! Everyone was welcomed with a glass of Baileys, followed by a traditional Christmas lunch, and topped off with mince pies and coffee.
The social committee at Brackenbury Manor organised for the owners to collect food items, toiletries and knit hats for Jimmy’s Night Shelter. Jimmy’s came to give a talk about the work they do and collect the items donated.
Our Owners and their friends and families at Browning Court had the first of their pre-Christmas Lunches. Everyone dressed up, and a luxury Christmas Lunch was served!   Our generous owners at both Holmesdale Manor and Great House Court combined forces to raise £245.70 for the MacMillan Biggest Coffee Morning. Well done to all who participated!
Irene’s Birthday Party in October was a really lovely event at Holmesdale Manor with her two daughters working hard to make it a great afternoon.
On 4th November, Eastbank Court ran a ‘Movember’ Event which was held to support National Men’s Awareness Month. Instead of the usual charge for afternoon tea and cake, Owners were invited to make a donation and the proceeds were given towards the Charity for Prostate Cancer. They were also invited to wear a ‘stick on’ moustache, which you will see by the photo’s some did! Staff were also allowed to come into work in clothes of their choice and wear a ‘stick on’ moustache in return for donating at least £1 towards this Charity. A grand total of £117.65p was raised towards this worthy cause. Yet another well enjoyed Halloween fancy dress party and buffet supper by Owners and staff at Deercote Court... Wicked food, spooky games, creepy decorations and carved pumpkins also contributed to the great success of this event.
Many thanks to Kathleen, Val, Maggie and Janice for organising the cheese and wine evening at Holmesdale on the 7/11/19. A fantastic range of cheeses were on offer, all the wine was drunk and the singer was great! A brilliant event enjoyed by all. A craft fair was held in the owners' lounge at Brackenbury Manor which was well attended with both owners and visitors buying Christmas gifts.
A Christmas card sale also took place on Thursday's coffee morning in aid of the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity which was enjoyed by all. Owners and staff enjoyed a fantastic Halloween fancy dress party at The Bridges with a themed evening buffet and drinks. Owners were on their feet dancing the night away to music from local singer and entertainer Alana. Prizes were given for the best dressed. As the saying goes… If you’ve got it, haunt it! There is lots to look forward to in the weeks ahead including Remembrance Sunday’s special lunch with a film evening, a celebrity wine tasting afternoon and a Christmas party.  |
