Jo with The Rowans lunch club members Annie and Joe

The club, situated at The Rowans sheltered housing facility in Bishopbriggs, gives members a hot meal for lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays, followed by a game of bingo.

Jo spoke to Joyce Avila, the housing’s warden of 15 years, and club members, who discussed local history and economic matters with her.

Commenting, Jo Swinson said:

“This popular lunch club has become a firm favourite amongst its members, who look forward to the opportunity to chat to friends over some tasty food twice a week. It was a pleasure to speak to some of the attendees about times past in East Dunbartonshire, including Joe, at 98 years old the club’s most senior member!”
