70s & Abba Afternoon – Thursday 10th September 2026.

At the Haydon Wick Bowls Club

What a fantastic afternoon we had!
Our wonderful residents came dressed in their best 70s-style fancy dress for an afternoon packed with fun, laughter, and music.
We were treated to a brilliant live set from Tony M and Jodie, who covered all the popular 70s tunes along with a fantastic mix of ABBA classics. The bar was open for anyone fancying a little tipple, and a delicious 70s-style buffet kept everyone well fed throughout the afternoon.
Before long, everyone was up on their feet dancing and tapping along, and the infectious laughter said it all, a truly joyful get-together for our community.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a special day, and a huge thanks to Tony M and Jodie for the amazing music. To our wonderful volunteers who go above and beyond at the Memory Café & Community Cafes to support the Memory Café and Community Co-Ordinator and make every moment special for the residents.
