Who’s for Lunch?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/WhosForLunch-New-Logo-002-1-e1523785463981-84x300.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nPopular lunch gatherings which were held in Pattingham Village Hall on the third Thursday of each month from 12.30 to 2.30 pm from 2017 until February 2020 after which they were suspended due to the covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These lunches are aimed at those who might feel a little isolated or alone, no matter what their age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2021 plans were being made as to how and when the gatherings could be restarted once restrictions were lifted but the existing team leaders would be standing down. There was an article<\/a> in the April 2021 Parish News magazine which you can read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe lunch on Thursday 21st June 2018<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We had a lovely lunch in June and there were 34 guests and 10 helpers . Anyone in the village who would like to join us would be most welcome. Lots of chat , good food and a glass of wine help to make this a popular event .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had extra cause to celebrate as Doreen Legge was 88 on the actual day of our June lunch . We all enjoyed a piece of her chocolate birthday cake to help mark this very special milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please contact us if you would like to come along or why not just turn up on the third Thursday each month and give it a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will be most welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Lunch](\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_0189-300x225.jpeg\")
