Seniors’ fun day
Sandwiches, scones and tea were relished as at least 100 people aged 60 and beyond enjoyed a seniors morning tea at the Woodford Memorial Hall last Wednesday.
Attendees came from places including Woodford, Caboolture, Wamuran, Kilcoy, Harlin and Toogoolawah, not only for a free morning tea but to socialise and listen to live music.
Bruce McDade sang and played his guitar, with his song list including ‘All I have to do is dream’ and ‘Take me home, country roads’.
The Woodford Singers also sang a number of songs, as did the trio of Norm Smith, Ricki Thavenot and Judy Wenham while some of the seniors had a dance.
One of the songs from the trio was ‘Along the Road to Gundagai’. A number of raff le prizes were also on offer, and event organisers the Woodford Lions sold tickets for the club’s mega raffle.
With Woodford having previously staged an event of this type during Seniors Week last October, Woodford Lions vice-president Carol McLeod said requests for more of these events meant they would probably be held twice each year.
“It’s really just an opportunity to bring the community together, and enjoy a cup of tea and the entertainment,” she said.
