Teddington residents are invited to a FREE summer party on Friday, 7 August at the new Elleray Centre in North Lane, including a free lunch.

The fun starts at 10am with some games guaranteed to get everyone in the party mood before the Elleray Community Association (ECA) serves a freshly cooked two course lunch (with vegetarian options available).

Then there will be live entertainment.

Everyone will receive a free ticket for the raffle and you can increase your chances of winning a prize by buying additional tickets.

Michael Hill, one of the centre's trustees, said: "Everyone is welcome – we are, after all, a centre for the entire local community - but at this event we especially welcome those who live alone and who would enjoy sharing some fun and food with good company!"

If you or someone you know, maybe an elderly neighbour or a friend who lives alone, would like to come and enjoy some good old-fashioned fun, food and entertainment, ask them to reserve their place now.

To reserve a place, call 020 8977 0549 or email [email protected] - spaces are limited.
