I AM writing following the letter in the Citizen two weeks ago appealing for friends on behalf of a woman living alone in Morecambe because she is not alone.

The Out and About Friendship Club has just been launched for people like her, people who want to meet new friends but don't know where to start.

We hold meetings where there is always someone to have a chat with, perhaps to meet up for a coffee, a drink, a day trip out, a meal or even a theatre trip.

We are aimed at men and women in the 50-plus age group and anyone who thinks this might appeal to them is invited to get in touch. Please call Christine on 01524-409854 or Jeannie on 01524-855110.

All we need to know are name, phone number, age and family status.

Christine Bragg, Morecambe.
