The Poynton Retirement Village in Shakespeare Road held their first annual Grandparent’s Day on Sunday October 28th. This was a nationwide initiative in Metlifecare’s 24 villages throughout the country. It was a splendid family day at The Poynton with grandchildren joining their parents and grandparents in a fun day (10am until 3pm) of croquet, petanque, face painting, goody bags, special treats and balloon sculpturing. There was a magician on hand to entertain the young and not-so-young folk and Mr Whippy was on hand as well to provide the ice cream treats. A fun day was had by all. The Channel Magazine crew were in the thick of the action! There were also tours of the village throughout the day, so visitors could see first-hand the lifestyle the residents and their families enjoy.
