A SOCIAL club for the over 65s has reopened in Calne after a four-month closure.
The Wednesday Club was forced to halt its weekly meetings at the Mill Race Centre because its organiser resigned due to other commitments.
Now a new organiser, Melissa Hanns, has stepped forward to run the club, which provides a vital meeting place for elderly people in the town who feel isolated and lonely.
Mill Race Centre manager Anita Simes said: "It provides a comfortable and social environment for people over 65.
"Our new organiser, Melissa Hanns, is very enthusiastic and I think she will do very well"
She said many of the pensioners who go to the club are in there 80s and 90s and are very frail with no relatives living close by.
