Newcomers club looks to expand

There's a place you can go where everyone knows your name - even if you're new around these parts. It's called the Tri-City Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge Newcomers Club but you don't have to be new to the area to join.

It's called the Tri-City Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge Newcomers Club but you don't have to be new to the area to join.

The club, which meets on the third Monday of each month (September through May) and holds activities throughout the year, including in summer, is looking to expand its membership.

Charlene Lacey, the club's publicity co-ordinator, said the group is looking for women who would like to meet others in the community for some enjoyable activities. It's recommended they attend one or two events and a meeting before deciding whether they want to join and, with activities throughout the summer, there are plenty of opportunities to check out the group.

There's a coffee and book club, pub nights, a weekend brunch club, games nights, and movie nights.

"We are also looking for suggestions [for more activities]," said Lacey, who joined the group after retiring as a way to meet new people.
