Celebrations in St Laurence Centre
I have just returned from a very enjoyable lunch with the Turkish Elders Club, who meet in our halls twice a week. Today they were celebrating Ramadam Bayram 84th Anniversary of the Republic of Turkey. I joined the other representatives from various groups and voluntary organisations from the local area for this event (including the Catford Safer Neighbourhood Team - the "boys (and girls) in blue" - as the Turkish Elders made this positive effort to get to know other groups. To quote from their letter "Our group believes that we must involve ourselves with other voluntary organisations and the council to work together, to support each other and provide a united voice on issues that affect the community".

Alison, Glad you enjoyed our celebrations.. we would like to thank you and the St Laurence Church team for letting us use their facilities for over 15 years. The Turkish Elders Club members really enjoy when the Church and Community Centre members get involved in their celebrations and events

You're very welcome - its lovely having you! Thanks for the delicious lunch too.
I have to ask - what is that chap wearing in the second photo down in the blue shirt?
The ladies who started the dancing were going round with these scarves and slipping them round people - then you had to dance!
