Coronation luncheon in Newlands

A special luncheon to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III was organised by the Newlands Community House.

Held on 5 May, the luncheon was attended by 34 senior citizens.

The menu included the Coronation Quiche, sausage rolls, high tea sandwiches and a large selection of cakes and slices, served with grape juice and orange juice.

The room was decorated with the Union Jack and bunting, and the tables were set with a choice of coronets and crowns for the attendees to wear.

Chairperson Ray Good started the luncheon off with a toast to the new King and Queen followed by those attending enjoying the food and comradeship.

The food was prepared by a small group of volunteers under the leadership of Karen Timperley.

Karen and her team prepare lunch for seniors every Friday at the Newlands Community Centre from 11:30am with the meal being served at noon. Anybody over the age of 65 is invited to attend to enjoy the food and friendship. Food is prepared by volunteers and changes weekly.

If anyone wants to help either with food preparation or spending time assisting please feel free to come down on a Friday, Karen says.
