AUTUMN LEAVES
OVER 50’S CLUB

For Old People?

Were you under the impression that you had to be old and
wrinkly to come to the meetings?
Are you the sort of person who says “I’ll never join Autumn Leaves, I'm not old

with another musical treat, and later on a talk about Red Rum by a professional
journalist-photographer, an afternoon exploring India and Burma (Myanmar as it is
now known) and a talk about the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
I hope I have whetted the appetites of some of you out there who have
wondered about coming and thought it might be boring. You certainly don’t

have to be old to come to Autumn Leaves, you just have to like people.
