MELKSHAM Seniors will be screening a blockbuster film this month, as well as hosting their regular weekly and monthly social events.
On Monday 21st January, the Seniors go to the circus for their movie afternoon at the Melksham Assembly Hall when 20th Century Fox’s blockbuster musical film, The Greatest Showman, arrives in town.
The film stars big Hollywood names including Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron and Michelle Williams. Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.
Doors open at 1.30pm. Entry is free, but donations are encouraged to help support the event. At the interval there is a raffle, and tea and biscuits.
Once a month on the first Monday of the month, the Seniors meet at Forest Community Centre to enjoy a wide range of outdoor and indoor games and activities that not only help to improve health, but also plenty of laughs. Join the group from 1.30pm until 4pm. The next meeting will be on Monday 4th February.
Every Thursday, the Melksham Seniors Activity & Social Club meet at the Riverside Club from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
The weekly Thursday morning activities include a great favourite “Smile and Sing along” under the leadership of Sue Stone. Then on alternate weeks they have Clare Webber, well-known locally for her excellent happy classes of balance, mobility, strength and stretch exercises for the more mature. They are always great fun and often pretty hilarious as the oldies swing along to great music.
Chairman Jim says, “It is a good two hours of socialising, a cup of tea or coffee, chocolate biscuits, or just ordinary biscuits all sorts, a raffle, plus games if you want to play, we really do have a fun two hours.”
The Seniors are also looking for assistance to help with transport, helping members attend the group’s functions.
