Previous Events
St Patricks Day
This day was a really enjoyable and pleasant event. Members were given a slap-up two-course Irish meal, consisting of Irish stew accompanied by soda bread, followed by delicious Baileys Irish sponge cake. Everyone enjoyed the food. We also were entertained by an Irish band, who got everyone singing and dancing.
The Royal Wedding
St Albans marked the wedding of Prince William an Kate Middleton by laying on a very special slap-up two-course dinner and entertainment on Thursday 28 April. The event was a smashing success, with around 70 attendees enjoying a hot & cold buffet followed by chocolate or lemon sponge cake, while singer Damian Griffiths provided a thoroughly entertaining show.
Community Sale
Julie Lawley, one of our employees, proposed the idea of a Community Sale. So the Centre Manager, staff and volunteers decided what we wanted to sell. We sorted out bric-a-brac, clothes, shoes, toys, a raffle, a cake stall and refreshments. This was a triumphant event, with around 80 people attending throughout the day. Fun was had by all involved.
March Trip to Hooties
Eleven people attended a trip to Hooties, following a meal at the centre beforehand. Everyone had a really good shop around, with people taking home a wide variety of purchases. A pleasurable day was had by all shoppers.
Christmas Party 2010
The Annual Christmas Party was held on the 16th of December, offering a four-course meal which included soup, roast turkey (with all the trimmings), trifle or Christmas pudding, mince pies and coffee, or a glass of wine. Entertainment was also provided courtesy of Maggie O’Hara. There was a Christmas sing-along and dancing - a merry time was had by everyone!
The Big Lunch
This year, St Albans was successful in obtaining £400 from the Local Authority, to bring members of the local community together, and encourage the local Asian, African-Caribbean and Irish communities to come together with centre members, to exchange experiences of their own cultures.
The deputy Mayoress opened the event and stayed for lunch with the local community, she commented that the work carried out at St Albans was impressive.
The event provided an opportunity for everyone to sample foods from the various parts of the world – encouraging different tastes and experiences for everyone.
