          Lunch club cooks up success
   Since opening at the beginning of January the newly reopened lunch
   club in Toothill Community Centre has been a hit with its members.
     Run by four volunteers led by cook Sue Hall, 48 of the 50 places are
   taken weekly. It costs £2 to register as a member and £2 each week for
   the lunch cooked on the premises.
     Mary Matthews said, "I was really glad the volunteers came forward
   to restart the club. They cook a lovely meal; it's great value for money."
     Not all members book in every week, so there are places for newcom-
   ers. For details call Annette Kennedy on weekday mornings on 614492.
