The Hotel Tamisa Golf situated in Mijas Costa was the venue for a special Christmas lunch for a group of elderly pensioners provided by Age Care Association. The guests, some of whom are housebound and frail and those who are struggling to care for a disabled partner, were transported to the hotel by Age Care Association volunteers.
On arrival at the hotel the guests were offered a drink and then enjoyed a rendition of carols by the Costa Chordbusters. Once in the dining room the President, Charles Betty, welcomed the guests and volunteers, and our special guest Steve Jones, the British Consul, and wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Then Steve Jones thanked all the volunteers and went on to explain how Age Care Association helps the staff at the Consulate often sorting out problems in cases where the Consulate are unable to act.
A three-course lunch accompanied by wine was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone; this was followed by more carols from the Costa Chordbusters who entertained us all with a special version of the Twelve Days of Christmas written especially for Age Care. After lunch Santa arrived with his presents and then Santa’s little helpers, one of whom was Steve Jones, went around the room giving presents to all the pensioners. For many of those at the lunch this was the only special meal they will get this Christmas.
Age Care Association would like to thank all the various clubs and associations who support the organisation, and a special “thank you” to John Peach of the Hotel Tamisa Golf; and would like to wish them all a Prosperous New Year.
