Trip to South Bank


South Bank, London
This Friday the group decided to head down to South Bank to enjoy the sunny weather and to see some of the attractions they have to offer.  

The group at South Bank, London
We took a lovely walk along the bank stopping to watch the brilliant street performers and to grab some food from one of the cafĂ©


This week we also took a vote to change the name of the club from the 'Over 25's Group' to something we felt described the group a little better. It was a unanimous vote and the winner for the new name is..........................

 'Feel Good Friday's' 

We think that this name reflects the club really well as our meet ups are all about getting together with friends, having a great time and FEELING GOOD!

Evening out to the PECKHAMPLEX cinema

This Friday the group choose to go to the PECKHAMPLEX cinema to see ‘The Other Women’ staring Cemeron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, Nikolaj Coster-Walkdau, Nivki Minaj, Taylor Kinney and Don Johnson.

Before the film started the group brought some tasty snacks from the confectionery counter, the hot dogs seemed to be a popular choice.

'The Other Women' is about a women (Cameron Diaz) who tries to get her ruined life back on tract after discovering that her boyfriend is married. But when she accidentally meets the wife he's been cheating on (Leslie Mann), she realises they have much more in common, and her sworn enemy becomes her greatest friend. When yet another affair is discovered (Kate Upton), all three women team up to plot mutual revenge.

After I spoke to the group to find out what they thought of the film, this is what they said: 

Very Funny”

"I like the part in the restaurant when the women put a laxative in his water"  

"It was brilliant"

"I enjoyed it, it was good"

"I liked it"

"It was good. my favourite bit was at the end when the man goes crazy and falls through the glass wall"

"It was funny"

"I thought is was funny when he had to wear the red trousers home from the restaurant"

"Really funny"

"Great"

Windmill Gateway Club May Dance

On Saturday 17th May the Friday group attended the Windmill Gateway's May Dance. We attended last year’s dance and everyone said they really enjoyed themselves, so when the group heard that it was going to be happening again they wanted to go.



Just like last year there was great music, tasty food, an exciting raffle and LOTS of dancing!! This year there was also the added bonus of lovely sunshine and warm weather. It was lovely to see some familiar faces as well as getting to meet some new ones. Everyone appeared to have brilliant time and said they looked forward to next year’s event.


Welcome to our revamped and renamed blog. We how you enjoy it!
