For the occasion, the members of the Singing Club performed a unique sing-along that included songs from the 1940s and the war. They also read brief monologues and poetry, accompanied with fruit cake, tea, and jam sandwiches. To celebrate, we also had a special themed lunch.

Early May Bank Holiday at Brompton included a beautiful three-course meal by Fernanda, our chef, followed by Czechmate coming to entertain us. We were so pleased to welcome back Veronika and Graham with their modern blend of popular jazz and classic music. The sun is out and a good spell of weather is expected, so time to get out the Coffee Trolley ready for the season.… Sunshine and coffee, what a good way to start the day here at Brompton Court.
Bank Holiday buffet, birthday and brilliant entertainment from Mike Rigler; Happy Birthday Dr Ron Iphofen! Thank you to our chef Fernanda and to Maria, Gaynor, Teresa and Daniel for all their hard work to produce a Brompton Bank holiday with a bang.
Happy 99th Birthday to David. All his friends and family joined him in the Great Hall for bubbles and cake to celebrate.
Thank you to Mary Graham, the author of The Royal National Hospital book, for coming in and talking to the Brompton Court owners today. Mary married into a Bournemouth family whose connections with the town go back to 1851. She worked at the Royal National Hospital in its final years, and then worked as a Staff Nurse at the Royal Bournemouth General Hospital until she retired.
Owners and their family enjoyed a beautiful three course meal in our Brompton dining room from Chef Michael, served by the super team Suzie, Tracy, Donna and Ashley. Coffee then followed in the Great Hall and the gardens on this wonderful sunny Mother's Day.
Thank you to Kate who helps our owners to keep fit with her weekly sit down Pilates classes in our Brompton Court Hobbies Room. Kate has been with us for a few years now and her classes continue to be busy, however we always have room for more.
'Beetle' is quite a simple game of rolling dice and drawing a beetle; it can be played in rounds or in teams. Owners just turn up and join others for a simple but fun evening, hosted by Margaret Guthrie. Our chairperson, Ian Price, got us into the sprit of the day... A wonderful Steak and Guinness pie lunch and, of course, a glass of Guinness to wash it down with.
