September has arrived at Burcot Court with its softer skies, cooler breezes, and the gentle promise of change. It’s that in-between month — not quite summer, not yet autumn — and here at the Court, it’s filled with warmth, connection, and plenty to look forward to.
This month, our social calendar is brimming with activities, shared meals, and special celebrations. Whether you’re joining for a lively evening event, a quiet coffee morning, or simply pausing for a chat in the lounge, September is all about embracing community and new beginnings.
🎉 Highlights This Month
Farewell Coffee Morning – Saturday 13th September
We’ll gather together at 11am in the lounge to celebrate and thank Jenny, who is retiring from her role as Duty Manager after many years of dedicated service. There will be coffee, cake, and a chance to share memories and wish her the very best for the future.
A Very Special Birthday – Tuesday 16th September
We’re delighted to mark a remarkable milestone this month as Mrs Harris celebrates her 100th birthday. Owners, friends, and family are warmly invited to her birthday tea at 4pm in the lounge. An afternoon of celebration, cake, and community awaits.
