I WOULD like to take the opportunity to thank Marlene, Chris, Gail, Jen, Andrea, Sue, Joyce and Eve for all their support in making Friends and Neighbours have such a wonderful 2014 programme. Their effort and support has been magnificent.

Thanks also to Jane Hutt AM and Alun Cairns MP for their support throughout the year and to both Vale Council and Barry Town Council for their support.

Age Connect Cardiff and Vale Senior Health Shop have let us have use of The Senior Health Shop for the monthly meetings and many of the customers that use the shop have joined the group as a result

The group has had a wonderful year including trips, lunches; visits to theatre including Lion King at Wales Millennium Centre and of course their Christmas Party to finish the year off.

Thanks to the sponsorship from Barry Round Table, Barry Rotary Club and Renishaw.

The programme of 2015 is very active with lots going on. With membership increasing this year the Group has moved to Beryl Road Pioneer Hall.

I would like to wish all the members of Friends and Neighbours a very Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.

Gay Fififeld

Coordinator Friends and Neighbours
