Dinner date with a difference
Newham Supper Club is a social network for local residents who want to make the most of their
spare time.
The club is made up of different interest groups; bringing community members who share the
same interests together. The groups can be anything from a book club to a swimming club; the
more members the club has, the more new interest groups it can help set up.
Newham Supper Club meets on the last Thursday of each month at the Froud Centre,
Manor Park, E12, from 7-9pm. Light refreshments are provided, or you can bring your own
supper to cook, eat and maybe share!
Come along and fi nd out more about what it can offer to you, make new friends and share
your interests. Just drop in on the day.
