The Association would like to record its thanks and appreciation to
the Management Committee and the Officers, and especially to the Voluntary
Wardens of the Club for their work during the past year, and hope that their
success will be a spur to great efforts in the future.
Pymmes Park Club.—In November last, the Executive of the Association
accepted with pleasure the invitation of the Edmonton Borough Council
to use the Pymmes Park Refreshment Rooms as a "Winter Club" for the old
people in that part of the Borough. With a "supplementary grant" from
the Edmonton Borough Council and the loan of furniture from the Women's
Voluntary Services, the Club opened on the 17th December last, and up to
the end of February had enrolled 100 members. A Committee of Voluntary
Wardens has been formed and is doing excellent work in the provision of a
small library, card-games, radio, tea and biscuits, and the gift of a small
billiard table has added to the attractions of the Club.
It was evident in the rapid growth of the membership of the urgent
need for the Club, and the Edmonton Borough Council have now decided
that the Club can maintain its continuity throughout the year by the use
of part of the vestibule during the summer months. This news was received
with great satisfaction by the members as many new friendships have been
formed in the short time the Club has been opened.
