Take a Seat at Miles Mitchell Village

 

The village at Miles Mitchell is specifically for residents over 55 years of age and has a very active social club at the heart of it. The club is run by a committee with Lyn Musk as Chair, Elsie Lapthorne as Treasurer and Den Musk as Secretary. They hold a regular programme of events such as darts, bowls, coffee mornings and a breakfast and lunch club with lots of helpers and volunteers from the village. The events are always well attended by residents but the organisers have found the chairs too heavy to move and have been trying to get funding for new lightweight ones that they could move about easily.

This was brought to the attention of our contractor Rogers Construction and Maintenance by Neil Williams our senior surveyor in the South West, and as a gesture of goodwill, Steve Rogers  Director at Rogers Construction donated a cheque of £300 to enable them to purchase 24 new lightweight chairs.

An official handing over of the cheque event was held on 19th July with a pasty lunch cooked by Peggy Harvey. This was well attended by 42 residents and for those that could not attend due to mobility problems, the lunch was delivered to them in their homes.
