'Life may change, but lasting friendship remains' - Plenty of fun and laughter for 21st century Oddfellow friendship groups across the Midlands
Talks, games, crafts, lunches and plenty of laughter are among the activities being enjoyed by residents attending a popular social gathering in Wolverhampton.
Once a month members of the Compton Oddfellows friendship groups meet up at the pub of the same name in Bridgnorth Road, in Compton, in Wolverhampton, for a cuppa, chat, quiz games and friendship to quell feelings of isolation. Around 15 regularly attend, but there is no connection between the group and the venue.
Oddfellows friendship groups' organiser Karen Phillips explains that with branches across the region, member can call in to visit other groups ones if they are able to travel.
In keeping with the digital age there are also various online video activities for folks to join including over the quiet new year period so members can gather with others if they wish.
"The Compton group is one of our busiest groups," she says.
