The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Stromness and Parish Eventide Club on its 70th anniversary, which was celebrated on 18 September 2022; notes that the Eventide Club at the Stromness Pier Head provides a regular and welcoming space for over 65s to meet, socialise and take part in a host of games and activities, enjoyed over afternoon tea provided by a team of dedicated volunteers; understands that the milestone was celebrated by a meal in the Ferry Inn accompanied by a general knowledge quiz and the surprise arrival of two cakes kindly donated by Argo's Bakery and Ronnie Mowat, both ably cut by regular eventide-goer, Caroline Fotheringhame; recognises the immense contribution the Eventide Club has provided in tackling loneliness and fostering a sense of community for over 65s in Stromness; commends the generous donation of Cooke Aquaculture to the Eventide Club, which will help support future events, ongoing activities and energy bills; pays tribute to the long-standing support of the Stromness Community Council and the wider community to this invaluable institution; thanks Chairwoman Wendy Flett, Vice-chairwoman Kay Macnair and all those involved at the Eventide Club, and wishes it all the very best for the future.
