One of our long term members, Ray, will be celebrating his 90th birthday, marking an impressive milestone that deserves a proper knees-up.

Ray is about to join the Naughty Nineties Club and we reckon he’ll fit right in with his cheeky sense of humour and love of a good yarn.

We’re fond of Ray, not just for his friendly nature, but for his generosity and the way he always has time for a chat.

His passion is collecting clocks and Ray knows so much about clocks that he’s more than happy to fix anyone’s clock that’s not working. Just pay him in chocolates and he’s happy. You’ll often find him sharing stories about his favourite timepieces and passing on tips to anyone interested.

Given 90 is a milestone, come and join us celebrate Ray’s birthday and tuck into some homemade cake at 1pm. And just in case you’re wondering, Ray still plays carpet bowls twice a week. Bowling will take place after we’ve sung Happy Birthday.

We hope to see plenty of familiar faces there to help Ray ring in his big day in style!
