THE Greeno Day Centre in Shepperton has celebrated its 20th anniversary in the company of Spelthore Mayor, Councillor Simon Bhadye.
Staff at the centre, in Glebeland Gardens, laid on a real show and some 90 members were invited to join in the celebrations.
A brass band greeted them on their arrival, before they settled down to a carvery lunch and some afternoon revelry in the company of entertainer Dave Mac.
Centre manager Vanessa Welch reported the guests had a superb afternoon, saying: "It was absolutely fantastic, a brilliant day. They absolutely love Dave Mac – he gets them all up singing and dancing and he rounded off the day brilliantly."
The Greeno Centre is a vital base for elderly people to gather and socialise and it provides a number of services, like hair dressing and catering.
Ms Welch added: "It's such a nice atmosphere here and it's great because it gets elderly people out and about and meeting and greeting.
"Here's to another 20 years."
