It was the case of the ‘wow’ factor this year! Talk about ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ – a recent Saturday in Southam saw fantastic examples of Southam’s Got Talent!
The occasion was the 41st Annual Lions Senior Citizens Party – named now with Lion Ken Graham’s name since he was the organiser for some 38 years! Blessed this year with lovely sunshine, some 140 Senior Citizens from Southam and surrounding villages were treated to an afternoon of fun at Southam College.
It was great to see the hall packed with guests and it was clear that they all enjoyed themselves, joining in with the songs of yesteryear. Lions President, Roger Lane opened proceedings with a short address, following which, guests fuelled with sherry, enjoyed a packed programme of entertainment. The afternoon started with The Conchordians, the fabulous children from Secret Garden who sang and danced so well and was followed by the ever popular Paul Gunton who sang a medley of songs old and new, with enthusiastic participation from the audience.
A lavish tea, provided courtesy of the Lion’s Ladies, was enthusiastically consumed, every last crumb, and then more entertainment from the Conchordians and Paul Gunton which led to rousing applause from our lovely guests.
The Lion’s were left in little doubt that there MUST be another party next year and so there shall be!
