The Wednesday Club: It all began with members of the Emyvale Development Association deciding to hold a Tea/Coffee morning in The Restaurant on Main Street on a Wednesday in 2018 but towards the end of that year the Restaurant closed and then began the search for alternative suitable accommodation. With assistance from St. Vincent de Paul the club was able to move into a larger room beside the Parish offices on the Glaslough Road and the tea/coffee became a weekly event with more and more people joining the club. Then Covid struck and the Club closed its doors. In early 2022 it was decided that the event could start up again by using the Main Hall in Emyvale Leisure Centre and have the ability to space the tables at an appropriate distance and with fewer persons sitting at each table. Again the numbers began to rise and it caused no problems as there was plenty of space for all. Every Wednesday the event begins at 10.30am with Tea/Coffee and a variety of eats like home made wheaten Bread, Boiled Cake, scones and a variety of biscuits and bars. On special occasions, like Halloween, Easter and Christmas, there will be a special like minced pies etc. Then a Raffle is held for four or five fun prizes and this is followed by a Guest Speaker. He/she will be someone who has a story to tell and it may be about their lives, their business, their likes or their adventures. Some times it is a qualified person to speak on health matters, home security and other interesting and helpful talks. Of course at times there is someone who can make us laugh and that is also beneficial for everyone. Regarding cost - there is no cost but a box is available for anyone who wishes to make a donation. Four members of Emyvale Development Association started this event and three other ladies volunteered to help out with laying the tables with required paraphernalia and then serving the tea/coffee. Of course there are also hands needed to clear up and clean up afterwards but the current team carry out this job with expertise and proficiency. We also have great assistance from men to get the table and chairs out and returned again afterwards. The Wednesday Club is open to all citizens over 18 years of age and you will enjoy the food, the chat and the fun and you might even go home with a prize. There is an empty table there waiting for you.
You can see the spare table for the Wednesday club. Will you help to fill it next Wednesday?
