Thursday Coffee Club
When the Village Post Office closed back in 1991 a once-a-week sub-office was established on Thursday mornings in the Vestry of the Chapel. One benefit was the provision of teas and coffees for customers and yet anothe Denton social facility was born.
Sadly, the Sub Post Office closed in 2021 but the Coffee Club carried on with a regular clientelle.
One highlight is the provision of delicious cakes supplied every week by participants, Another is the recognition of members' birthdays, but only one candle on a small piece of cake has to be blown out.
In good weather members can sit outside.
In March 2025 the Club was three years old and a Report on its activities issued. This covered:
"So far we have purchased -
- 8 chairs
