For many, attending Goldies is the only time that some get to meet and enjoy the company of others.
The Goldies schools inter-generational programme encourages schools to open their doors to the older folk in their community and on Wednesday February 25 older people who attend the Goldies session at Milford Hall will be the guests of the school.
Also attending will be the Mayor of Yeovil Cllr Mike Lock and the Mayoress.
Grenville said;
“Holy Trinity Primary School are putting on a fantastic day for our Goldies and are also inviting other local people. There will be lots of singing and the children will also be showing the older folk their World War One projects that they have been working on in recent weeks.
“Everyone will enjoy lunch provided by the school and the day will end with a good old fashioned sing-along of those World War One favourites led by myself.
“It’s going to be a great day, I am really looking forward to it.”
