CLUBS:
The William Preye Club: The continued success of this Club is
testimony to the excellent work of the Officers and Voluntary Wardens;
and they can be justly proud of the fact that it is acknowledged to be
one of the best Clubs of its kind in the country.
By their own efforts, through the Autumn Fair, Sewing Corner
and Weekly Whist Drive; which are the most profitable sources of income
to the Club, they gave an Annual Tea Party to 145 members. This year the
Edmonton Borough Council are to re-decorate the premises and lay a new
floor, and the Club are going to meet the cost of renovating the easychairs
and re-covering the billiard table. As in previous years the Club
has made a donation of £100 towards the cost of running the Club.
The Association would like to record its thanks and appreciation
to the Management Committee, Officers and the Voluntary Wardens of the
Club for their excellent work which has made the William Preye Club such
an important social centre in the lives of many old people.
Pymmes Park Club for Old People: Despite its 'housing problem'
this Club has maintained its success as a social centre in the southern
area of the Borough. This has been due in no small measure to the work
of the Officers and the Voluntary Wardens, particularly the outstanding
work of Mr. R. Newton. The Club held a very successful outing, and the
Annual Tea Party was a truly memorable occasion. The inter-club games
matches with the William Preye Club have provided great pleasure to both
Clubs, and their 'Musical Afternoons' have been a high-light in a very
happy and successful year.
The Association record their thanks to the Management Committee,
Officers and Voluntary Wardens for their services during the year.
FOOT SERVICE: The Foot Service Clinics operated by the British
Red Cross Society on alternate Mondays at the William Preye Club and Red
Cross Headquarters, Church Street, Edmonton, are continuing to provide an
essential and excellent service to the old people who need urgent chiropody
treatment. During the year under review the Foot Clinics gave no less than
1,284 treatments, and a number of these cases were brought to the Clinics
by Red Cross Ambulance.
It is imperative that old people with foot ailments should have
early treatment, and it is the speed and efficiency of this service which
have earned the Red Cross high praise for their work.
As a token of appreciation for the services given in this field
of social medicine, the Association have made a grant of £50 to the British
Red Cross Society, Edmonton.
