The
York 50+ Information Fair on Thursday 8 September launched this year's
50+ Festival with tremendous enthusiasm. Balloons found their way up
pillars to bob through the day and after the event ended up in the hands
of passing children and at St Sampson's!
The Lord Mayor, who attended with the Sheriff and his Lady, opened the
Fair at 10 am and 30 stands offering a wide variety of information and
advice, fair trade goods and tasters were soon busy with customers.
The York Older People's Assembly ran a very successful tombola with
the shout of "winner!" echoing to the rafters. Refreshments were much
appreciated as were the lemon tarts from Wiltshire Farm Foods.
Advice was given on housing, energy saving, legal issues, telecare,
leisure pursuits, fitness and personal problems. There were clubs to
join and hearing dogs for deaf people to stroke, advice from various
organisations working with older people and plenty of gadgets to try….the
sun shone after a spot of drizzle in the morning and a trio of volunteers
with flyers brought the crowds in.
We had a fine time and look forward to welcoming you to our 50+ Information
Fair next year.
