Fun Club
THURSDAYS 10 – 12 AM
The Inaugural meeting will be held on Thursday, 14th May 2026, in the Scout Hall in Chalfont St Giles
The aim of this Club will be to play games, mainly Board Games. We have quite a number of boardgames already but feel free to bring along a game that could be enjoyed by others.
A lot of people play games on their phones but this is a very lonely activity. Most people like company and have fun with other like minded people. Laughter and fun are something we all need.
Gaming stimulates the mind, encourages competitiveness, which is useful at any age.
It is hoped that we can attract people who are really into gaming and we can learn from them. There are lots of new, interesting games to be had and we will get them.
The charge per session paid in advance will only be £ 2.00
Please, come along and support this venture and get involved if you can. Please, also ask other people who might be interested.

Chalfont St Giles & Jordans Literary Festival
History speaks to us all.
On 9th May, the historian Bettany Hughes talks to local former television news and sports presenter Mark Webster about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, those brilliant, audacious structures that still keep us guessing after so many thousands of years.
And on 12th May, John Foot will be telling the story of the Brigate Rosse or Red Brigades who believed that actions speak louder than words. Unfortunately they took this to extremes, from small scale actions such as burning cars to kidnappings and eventually assassinations. Sadly still relevant today, this story is based on archives which are only now coming to life.
Full details and tickets for all events on the Festival website
Tickets also available in the Chalfont St Giles Library.

Fun Club For The Over 60s Is Ready To Go!
There is a great need for older people to find something to do that they enjoy and is also a mental challenge.
When people retire they often feel not needed. If they also have no hobby, life can be miserable.
I, with Sherly have run the very successful 60+ Fitness & Social club every week, for 20 years. We have 32 members and can not take on any more. In any case our club would not be suitable for people who have not done any exercises for a long time or dont like exercises.
We do however have a lot of games like bord games, table tennis, darts, short tennis and more. We would like to share this with other people hence the idea of a fun club.
Most people enjoy playing games, which they have played when they were younger.
The Scout Hall has various times and dates free.
All that is needed is 10 people to start with who can come to the weekly sessions. The cost per one hour session would be £2 . Two hour session would be possible
I would be around for the first 3 session to start the club. After that 2 people would be needed to take responsibility,voluntary without any pay. Everyone would be expected to do their bit as is the case in our club. Also, there is hot water and cups for tea.
The aim of this club will be to have a weekly affordable and enjoyable club for retired people who run the club without financial help from Counils and General taxes.
Please, contact me on
