A staggering £410 was raised for the club’s chosen charity, Age Concern New Forest, the evening’s highlights being the member’s partners who provided a hilarious evening entertainment whilst conducting the auction. e laughter being the lubricant for the auctions success. An additional £40 was generated by the Club’s own Drive Out Day on 4th May, ( nal destination a club favourite, the Whinwhistle Fishery Cafe in West Wellow) making a grand total of £450. Hence the “confounded” as the monies raised exceeded expectations. On ursday 22nd May, club members visited Headlands Farm Cafe, Romsey Road, West Wellow for a morning chat, tea, co ee and good food.

Pride and Prejudice, and Other Useful Qualities To celebrate 75 years of e Lyndhurst Drama Society and 250 years of Jane Austen, the Society will perform Pride and Prejudice and Other Useful Qualities at the Vernon eatre, Sandy Lane in Lyndhurst on 10th, 11th, 12th July at 7.30pm. This fast-paced, sharply witty adaptation brings Austen’s iconic story to life with bold performances, biting social satire, and more suitors than you can shake a bonnet at! e ve Bennet sisters are running out of time and their father is running out of money. With the family estate entailed away and Mrs Bennet in full matchmaking meltdown, it’s a race to marry them o before the last pig is sold and the curtains come down - literally. Enter Mr Bingley, charming and a able (if slightly biddable); Mr Collins, a clergyman with the romantic subtlety of a mop; the dashing but dodgy Captain Wickham; and Mr Darcy, who might just be the richest, grumpiest man in England. Will Jane catch her gentleman? Will Lizzy survive a dinner party without insulting someone? And can true love triumph when everyone’s motives are tangled in pride, prejudice, and property?
