Activities for the Elderly - Clubs

Bingo/Cardgame/Boardgame Clubs  When people think about activities for the elderly, bingo, card games, and board game clubs aren't always top of the list. With the advent of computer games etc, the more traditional fun pastimes of boardgames/cards have been somewhat forgotten. But they are still as enjoyable as they were way back when so why not get together with your friends and start a club where you can meet once a week or more and enjoy some company with like minded individuals. As with other activities, for the more competitive, you can always start a league. You will find plenty of coffee shops/restaurants/pubs only happy to welcome you in during the quieter mid morning or mid afternoon times.
Similarly, if games aren't your thing, then start a book club just like Oprah did. Someone in the club chooses a book for everyone to read and then you meet up and chat about it. You are the reviewers!
