It has been a busy couple of months at Gresham Court!  We celebrated St Georges Day in April  with delicious homemade Fish and Chips and an exhilarating Bingo evening that saw many lovely prizes presented.  This was followed by our May Day Bank holiday meal with an exciting new menu this year including baked Avocado and stilton and Cod wrapped in Smoked Bacon which the owners particularly enjoyed.  Last but not least we raised a toast to the lovely couple at our Royal Wedding celebrations in the lounge!  Such a spectacular event was followed up with a glass of bubbly with lunch.  We are looking forward to a lovely summer ahead with lots of activities planned.

Gresham Court has seen a busy start to the year with many events punctuating the social calendar.  We enjoyed celebrating the birthdays of two of our owners, Mr Diederich (aged 88) and Mr Lumb (the venerable age of 98!).  We have also welcomed back Film Night to the social calendar so residents will now enjoy a film together once a month in the lounge on a Saturday evening.  Last but not least we celebrated Easter in fine fashion this year with hot cross buns and tea served on Good Friday and special Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday meals served to our residents and many of their family members.  A lovely few days enjoyed by all.

Owners enjoyed a Christmas Quiz afternoon with a glass of mulled wine and nibbles.  The winning team were very pleased with their prize of wine and chocolates.

Gresham Court had a very enjoyable high tea supported by a large number of owners.

In August we had very successful and sunny BBQ lunch which was supported by many owners.  A lovely High Tea afternoon in September was very much enjoyed by those who attended.

Our regular social events continue including Cheese and Wine evenings and the music hour.

Following such a dismal spell of weather over the last few month, and now we are well in to the New Year, our thoughts are turning once again to making improvements in the garden.  Our owners have a few very keen gardeners amongst them and are meeting regularly to come up with a plan for replanting particular areas in the garden which are enjoyed by everyone.

As Christmas is now only weeks away, we are planning a busy social programme at the Court including a pre-Christmas lunch for Owners and their guests in Mid-December, some seasonal music , special lunches and other social events over the Christmas and New Year period.

We had a very busy spell socially over the Christmas and New Year period.  In mid December we held a concert of Christmas music and served mulled wine and mince pies.  Our very popular annual pre Christmas lunch was organised just before Christmas for Owners and their guests.
Christmas Day was pleasantly spent with lunch for Owners who chose to spend Christmas with us, and special lunches were well attended on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.  A New Year’s Eve social with drinks and canapés was also enjoyed.
Coming up we have a Quiz Night planned for February and on Shrove Tuesday traditional pancakes will be served.  In addition our regular weekly coffee mornings, afternoon teas and armchair Keep Fit classes will be taking place, and a monthly cheese and wine evening.
