Breakfast club celebrates tasty anniversary
A Telford club that prides itself on offering older gentlemen a good cooked breakfast and a chance to put the world to rights is celebrating its six-month anniversary.
Run by local charity Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin, members of the Telford Men's Breakfast Club meet at the Toby Carvery at the Shawbirch Crossroads, Telford, the fourth Tuesday of each month, to have a laugh and a good natter.
Some come for the light-hearted quiz (not to be taken seriously), others simply enjoy a good chat and the chance to mix with like-minded gentlemen.
Peter Sinclair is certainly not short of hobbies and interests – “I like going to the cinema, I enjoy walking, and I’m really into music as well, mostly the music of the 1960s, Tamla Motown, soul, but also bands like the Moody Blues.”
The 76-year-old is also a volunteer befriender for Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin and he’s here today with the man he has befriended, 92-year-old Alf.
“We thoroughly enjoy the breakfast club. It’s really good to get out and meet other people. It gets people together. You make new friends.”
Barry Farnham, aged 66, joined the club just three months ago. He says: “I heard about it from another member. It’s really good to meet other people and have a nice conversation.
