"Our bowling club has just been rebuilt after it was demolished by a tree five years ago, so I think a lot of people were also keen to come back and see what the new building looked like."

There were a variety of fun activities on offer for participants, such as a quiz, bingo and a raffle.

"It's important to get people together, as many people have been isolated for so long.

"I'm sure there were people there who hadn't seen each other for quite a long time, so it's good to get them back into the community."
