Activities and Groups

Time Out Café

 

The café is run by volunteers who provide a guaranteed warm and friendly welcome, refreshments and a chat to Poynton seniors. The volunteers also provide activities such as a game of bingo, dominoes or colouring activity, although if you simply want to socialise with others in a friendly environment, that’s perfectly fine!

The Café is open most Friday afternoons at Poynton Civic Hall. You are welcome to stay for the full two hours or pop in when you can.

We ask for a small donation to cover the cost of tea, coffee, cake and biscuits.

There are times when the Café is closed so it’s always best to check first by contacting the Civic Hall on 01625 872238.

The volunteers aren’t able to take responsibility for those attending the café. If you or a loved one attending the café require any support, please bring a friend or carer who is able to offer the support needed.

If you would like to discuss anything further, about the Café please contact Sharon Duke Sharon.duke@poyntontowncouncil.gov.uk or 01625 872238.


 


Poynton in Bloom

Poynton In Bloom are a group of volunteers who plant and maintain a number of containers which are mostly to be found around the centre of Poynton, with the aim of providing floral colour to brighten up the streets. The Group is supported by the Town Council who fund the purchase of the plants.

There is a committee which meets to discuss planning and progress and we now have another group of volunteers who also help the committee with the planting and maintenance. 

The plants are renewed twice a year in spring and autumn and in between the main tasks are to keep the containers weeded, deadheaded and watered. From time to time, in the bigger containers, the structural planting has to be renewed but anything that has just grown too big is planted elsewhere to continue growing.

The group would be happy to hear from anyone, even if you don’t already know a lot about gardening, who would like to volunteer and help out with planting and/or watering. Please contact poyntoninbloom@talktalk.net
