Pensioners in Parson Drove enjoy Christmas lunch

Pensioners in Parson Drove tucked into a tasty Christmas lunch thanks to the hard work of volunteers. Casey Bates, Maureen Fyson and friends organised bingos throughout the year to raise money to fund the lunch. A total of 91 pensioners sat down to a three-course meal in the village hall. The guests also enjoyed entertainment from Big D during the six-hour event. Mrs Bates said: “It was wonderful. We had a lot of happy people. “We are looking forward to next year’s event.”
