Never Too Old Club the place to be

Carla Lockhart MP • February 21, 2023

Local Member of Parliament Carla Lockhart joined a joyful group of locals at the ‘Never Too Old Club’, held in Portadown Masonic Hall every Wednesday from 4pm to 6pm.

Speaking after visiting the group last week, the DUP MP said:

 

“Across the constituency of Upper Bann we have a fantastic range of groups who hold regular activities to bring people out of the house, to enjoy social time with their neighbours and build new friendships.

 

The ‘Never Too Old Club’ for over 50’s in Portadown is a wonderful example of such a group. Held each week in the Masonic Hall, the group provide a safe and welcoming place for the local community to come together to mix, to meet new people, and here at the ‘Never Too Old Club’ they can enjoy a cuppa and even a wee dance. It is a great event and a credit to Anne, Tanya and the committee, that the group is in such good health with a growing band of attendees who quite evidently love the weekly catch up.

 

If you live in the area, and want to attend, I know you will be made most welcome so please do consider going along. I had a great time, and thank the Club for their warm welcome.”
