50
From an attendance of under 100 members in the first
months, the Club has now grown to a weekly attendance
of 180 and is still expanding.
The members are brought by the Club's own ambulance to
spend the day and are served with dinner and light
refreshments.
Various activities are undertaken, as well as monthly
entertainment and birthday parties, and outings planned
for the summer.
The members have elected their own advisory committees
to help the Warden in arranging the programme.
Work Scheme
This year has been one of consolidation and expansion.
There are now 2 centres, one at 58, Lansdowne Way, S. W. 8.
and the other at 28, Chester Way, S.E. 11., employing 65

Old people are sent by Hospital almoners, and after
working at one of the centres once again become useful
members of the community. In addition several of the
elderly employees have returned to full time employment.
