BONVILLE Sawtell Lions Club hosted their 31st Seniors Christmas lunch on Sunday 7 December in the Bonville Hall.
It started in the early 1990s, when service clubs and charities held a large, combined senior’s Christmas lunch for Coffs Harbour and Sawtell seniors at the racecourse.
“Seniors from the Bonville area were not invited and were missing out,” club spokesperson Ida Scolari told News Of The Area.
“So the Bonville Lions Club decided to have lunch for local seniors in the Bonville Hall, a tradition that continues to this day.
“The combined Coffs Harbour Sawtell lunch was cancelled a number of years ago but the Bonville lunch has continued and is great fun.”
Approximately 80 lunches were served to seniors, volunteers and Lions Club members.
Music was provided by volunteer guitarists Mark and James from the Boambee Markets.
