Spring 2015


At last we are beginning to see signs of spring, and an idea of what it could be like this summer if the weather systems allow! Hope your gardens are full of colourful bulbs and blossoms, and that you are ready for a year packed with interesting and exciting Newcomers events.
Here are our offerings for the next few months. If you have a suggestion, please let us know and we will add it to the list.


Theatre Evenings
Simon would like to attend a few events at the theatre in the next fews months. He has made some suggestions and some possible dates (see below). If you would like to go along, please contact him to arrange to meet, and book your tickets directly through the theatre:
  • Wed 15/04: A Midsummer Night's Dream - Everyman Theatre
  • July TBD: Arthur Miller's Hook - Everyman Theatre

Film Night
We wanted to make this a regular event, so we decided we would set a date to go to the cinema on the first Tue/Wed/Thu of the month, depending on who is going and what they are going to see. Watch our for email invitations, or if you want to see a special film, invite the group the last Wednesday of the previous month. Let everyone know what you plan to see, where, and when - we are sure you will get a lot of film buddies!

Afternoon Tea - Grosvenor Garden Centre - Monday April 20, 2:30pm
Barbara S. has suggested a fancy afternoon tea at the Grosvenor Garden Centre (just south of Chester on the Pulford/Rossett road). They do what sounds like a delicious spread @ £19.95 for two. The venue is a great place for browsing for gifts and food as well as garden stuff. She has booked a table for 6, please let her know if you would like to attend (even just for a quick cuppa!). You can also pop in on the day if you cannot commit in advance. 

Farewell Lunch for Luisa and Tim
As many of  you already know, Luisa and Tim are moving to be closer to their grandchildren. They have been wonderful longstanding members of  Newcomers and we are sorry to see them go. To help them celebrate their new ventures elsewhere, we hope to give them a good sendoff and have a glorious lunch sometime in the Spring. As soon as we have a firm date and location, we will let you know.
