Cllr Cahal Burke supporting local group Lindley Chimes
Lindley Chimes 4th Annual Christmas Celebration Dinner at Lindley Liberal Club was attended by over 70 older residents this year – the biggest number since the event began.
At the event, held at Lindley Liberal Club, local residents enjoyed a Christmas Dinner, pleasant company and entertainment provided by Lindley Junior School Choir and Almondbury Duo Dave and Kim Valentine.
Lindley Chimes is a community organisation in its fifth year which specialises in providing social opportunities for older residents in the Lindley and Huddersfield Area. The Group meets weekly on a Tuesday between 11 and 13.30 at Lindley Liberal Club for chat, refreshments, activities and entertainment.
Ann Beaumont from Chimes said:
“We are really pleased by the number of people who came to the Annual Christmas Dinner this year. Chimes membership has just grown and grown and grown. It goes to show that there is a real need among older residents for a place to go and meet regularly like we have here in Lindley. We are always looking for new members and would encourage anyone who wants to get out a bit more to come along.”
Cllr Cahal Burke, a long term supporter of the Chimes Group also attended the dinner. He said:
“I agree entirely with Ann, isolation among older residents is far too common and more groups like Chimes are needed across Kirklees. They do a fantastic job and service for the community and I cannot speak highly enough of them.”
