On November 15th the Hayling Island Businessmen’s Club sponsored it’s annual Christmas afternoon tea for senior citizens at Sinah Warren.

The Sinah staff were on hand to provide a first class Christmas welcome with loverly entertainment and a fine sing song to follow.

The club hosted the event for nearly 300 senior citizens from around Hayling, its residential care homes and organisations for the elderly. Every one of the guests enjoyed the event and even participated in the sing song. The twelve days of Christmas song became a singing dual to rival any talent contest as the guests were split into twelve groups to belt out their particular ‘day’. The results were hilarious and the sound incredible.

The afternoon started at 2pm, and the entertainment provided by Sinah Warren Entertainments group consisted of 45 minutes of singing and dancing to songs from various spy films, particularly James Bond.

This years club Chairman Malcolm Newnes gave a speech, thanking Sinah warren Entertainments Group for the excellent show and the continued support for the Businessmen’s Club Senior Citizens Christmas Party. Particular thank to Jacqui Negal, the Guest Liason Manager, and Yana Ogly, the Entertainments Manager, not forgetting Sinah Manager Martin Plumber

The event highlights the importance of the clubs work as it utilises the minibus it runs to ferry many of the guests to and from the event. It is important to show just where all your donations go, as the look of delight on the guests’ faces makes all the fund raising efforts worthwhile.
