Notice:

An Easter Tea and Egg Hunt was held at Goulden House for the residents on Friday 27th March 2026. A good number of residents came, many with their children. The egg hunt was in the safety of the inner green. The children were delighted to go with their easter baskets to find the chocolate eggs hidden around the green, despite the drizzling rain. There were activities for the children to enjoy while laughing and chatting with their friends. As part of the fun for the children, we had a game to guess how many mini eggs were in the jar, much to everyone’s delight the birthday girl won. Everyone joined in singing happy birthday to an 8-year-old young lady. Everyone enjoyed a buffet of sandwiches, hot cross buns, and home bakes with a cup of tea/coffee. All residents and children left with an easter egg and flowers. A good time was had by all.

A big thank you to all the helpers and volunteers who contributed to making this event a big success, especially for those making the room inviting, baking delicious cakes, overseeing the easter egg hunt, serving the teas/coffees and clearing up afterwards
