On Thursday 4th July, 14 owners from Eastbank enjoyed a visit to Harvington Hall near Kidderminster. The Hall dates back to the 14th Century and was once a residence of the Earl of Warwick. The owners enjoyed a full guided tour around the hall followed by tea and cake. The outing was enjoyed by all who attended.
On Wednesday 1st May, 16 owners went on an outing to the Kidderminster Carpet Museum, this was following on from a carpet spinning demonstration that was held here at Eastbank Court a few weeks previously. The owners were treated to tea and biscuits and a talk about the history of carpet making in Kidderminster. They then had the chance to explore the museum and look at the machinery that was used to make carpets years ago. Finally, they stopped off at a local pub for a drink and some lunch before returning home. All had a great day and once again a big thank you to Mr Herington for organising the outing.
On Saturday 17th February the owners at Eastbank court were invited to celebrate Mr Bailey’s 70th Birthday. His family had very kindly organised for ‘The London Soprano’ to attend to sing some classical opera as well as some musical favourites. This was a surprise for Mr Bailey and he commented on how well we had kept the secret as he had no idea. After listening to the wonderful performance everyone enjoyed food and drinks whilst Mr Evans very kindly played some music on his electric piano. The festivities continued late into the evening and was a great success. Mr Bailey was extremely grateful for all the work that had gone into making his birthday so special!
 Christmas officially started at Eastbank Court on the 9th December. Friends and family were invited for a Christmas lunch with over 150 people enjoying a three-course meal in the restaurant across the weekend.

We then enjoyed many festive activities with Pianist Pat Dorman coming in during afternoon tea on 11th December for a festive sing-along, the Worcester handbell ringers treating owners to some beautiful music on 18th December and the Northwick Primary School choir coming along to sing some songs for the owners on 19th December. Christmas day was also a big success with another brilliant meal cooked for owners who were spending the day with us. All in all, it has been a great Christmas period!

Once again thank you to Mr Herington for organising.
