Edwina Cooper and I were invited to attend a Contact the Elderly Christmas party at the United Reform Church on the afternoon of Sunday 9 December. We walked from the Town Hall with our attendant for the day, Rod Thomason, as I was wearing the full chain and to the church hall on the left of Cromwell Place. The hall was already filling up with the guests and we were met by Mary Eynon, who was the organiser. Her husband is the Reverend Keri Eynon of the United Reform Church. Mary was recovering from a broken shoulder which was taking its time to heal. It was good to be able to move around the tables talking to the guests, some of whom we had met at Fairclose Day Centre and at other venues around the town. Regrettably, we had to leave after having some refreshments as we were due to go off to Aldermaston in the early evening. It is this and other charity organisations which gives Newbury such a good reputation for looking after the elderly and others not so fortunate, particularly over the Christmas season.
