Organised by local group Nostalgia, St Columbkille’s Hall hosted 170 older residents.
St Columbkille’s Hall in Rutherglen was full of life on Saturday, April 18, as the much-anticipated Happy Hoolie brought fun and community spirit to the fore.
Organised by local group Nostalgia, 170 older residents came together for an afternoon of live music, food and dancing to a mix of traditional tunes and popular favourites.
A quiz added to the fun, with local craft group the Busy Bees taking the win and receiving medals.
Guests enjoyed a buffet provided by Erin Welsh, with hall staff supporting the smooth running of the day.
Gordon Hutchison of Nostalgia said the afternoon “had a great atmosphere from start to finish”.
The event was supported by the Community Fund, which enabled free entry for everyone who attended.
Happy Hoolie is part of Nostalgia’s ongoing programme of community events for older residents.
Nostalgia Rutherglen is a community group which is working with older people and sheltered and care home residents to alleviate loneliness and social isolation.
You can find out more about the group by searching for “Nostalgia Rutherglen” on Facebook.
