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.
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 lovely sunny day for cream teas, scones, strawberries and champagne at Holmesdale Manor. Everyone at Holmesdale Manor would like to thank Valerie, Janice, Kathleen, Maggie, Enid and Ann for organising the event and making the delicious homemade scones.
Sunset Duo performed for the residents today at Holmesdale Manor. In fact, the duo turned out to be a solo but that did not stop the enjoyment. It was a great performance. A special thanks to Frank, Kathryn, Maggie and Valerie for organising the event.
 Unique one-off bonnets were made by the owners at Holmesdale this year for Easter. Thank you to Kathleen, Valerie and Maggie for organising the fun.
Today saw a professional band of Ukulele players “The Wrinklies” entertain the owners at Holmesdale Manor. It was a very entertaining event and we had a great turn out. Thank you to everyone who helped organise the fun, especially Peter Nunn and Kethleen Lambeth.    Many thanks to Frank Luff for organising the fish and chip supper that has become a firm favourite at Holmesdale Manor. The event always has a good attendance and I’m sure Frank is one of Raffles Bridge fish and chip shops' favourite customers!
Holmesdale received a lovely review from one of their guests:
“The bed was extremely comfortable and the power shower worked well. There were plenty of towels on a heated rail. The room was very quiet and I had a great night’s sleep.” A good time was had by all at the Holmesdale Manor Christmas do this year on Thursday the 20th of December. Once again, the lounge was completely packed. A wonderful event enjoyed by all.
The carol concert on Friday the 14th was a lovely evening for all at Holmesdale Manor. Highlights included Tom’s conducting, Frank and John’s comedy duo and a recital form Pat.
Holmesdale Singers enjoyed the start of the festive season with a carol rehearsal in preparation for the big event on the 14th of December. Friday will see an evening of carols and mulled wine from 5 pm onwards.  Holmesdale Manor would like to say a big Happy Birthday to Frank and Enid who were both 90 this year. Frank’s cake shows important parts of his life including his history at Leith hill, his garage and his hobby restoring old cars, stock car racing and his love of bowling. Enid had a great turn out and the lounge was packed. Many happy returns to you both!
