eah month, 4thich seldom happened in the previous years. We visited a wide variety of venues for day trips,
from river trips to statety homes and gardens or shopping centres. We were especially pleased to be invited
by our local secondary school to their Festive Tea in December. This event had lapsed during Covtd, but was
revived and proved very successful, wth the school providing a free tea, and the pupils entertaining Imth
music, siThJing and small grfts. We hope this ￿*ll become an annual event again.
As a result of increased numbers of passengers who donated to￿ardS the buses, our bus services covered
their costs, despite the rising prices of fuel and maintenance.
Our other services conttnued to be WEII atten￿. *ith Sunday Club, L￿ch Club and FrFday Club (OUT new
name for the okl Day Care service) often reaching their capacity. Our Senior Library Group (run in
conjunctton with Deepings Communty Library) had continued throughout loth di)1￿. thanks to volunteeTS
