Dear all, I would like to bring to your attention the following event : Celebrating Age 2009: Merton’s Festival for the over-50’s This year’s Festival, the seventh, takes place between Tuesday 1st and Sunday 27th September, offering over 150 events which showcase all that Merton has to offer older people. Once again, there are a host of new activities to enjoy, new ways to meet people, and opportunities to try your hand at something new (with the Festival ‘passport’ making your welcome guaranteed). Whether you fancy the dogs or horse racing, tapestry weaving or tai chi, drama groups or jewellery-making, outings to Bognor Regis, Hever Castle, Salisbury or Wisley, a walk around one of our parks or exploring somewhere in our area – we guarantee there will be something for you. For those with mobility problems, accessible minibuses are available to carry people from home to events: if you know someone who doesn’t get out much, why not tell them about this, and help them choose some events to attend? Watch out for the yellow smiley at the Civic Centre, libraries, community centres and churches near you, and pick up your brochure now. From 15th July, you can call Festival Line on 8545 4712 to book and to find out more! Regards JohnTibaldi
