Outings
Each of the four clubs held their annual outings to the sea
and 2 additional invitations from the Women's Institutes enabled 58
pensioners who were not club members to enjoy a day in the country.
The British Red Cross Society, by providing a minibus capable
of carrying 8 infirm old people, have, during the year, taken over 100
pensioners for trips to the country.
The Chelsea Christmas Dinner Fund had a surplus of money following
the Christmas parcel distribution and decided to use this by providing a
days free outing for 350 pensioners. Arrangements were made for 9 full
coaches to leave Chelsea on 18th June for Windsor where the old people
boarded 2 launches and made a trip to Marlow and back, having both lunch
and tea on board. On returning to Windsor coaches brought them back to
Chelsea.
