Lincolnshire Quest
Once upon a time, there existed a group of people who would stop at nothing in their search of a good time, the wilder and wackier the activity, the better, especially if it involved lots of food and drink and riotous parties! These people really knew how to live life to the full. So, who were they and what happened to them? Well, they used to be called 'Grimsby & Cleethorpes 18 Plus', but when members became more 'plus than 18', it was felt that it was time to move on and the group closed.
All fairy tales should have a happy ending, but this story doesn't, because it isn't over yet - these people are still here, only they're called 'Lincs Quest' …. and we celebrated our 5th birthday in September. Starting with just 5 members in 2002, the group has gone from strength to strength, with a membership now of nearly 50. Last year, we became victims of our own success when our venue became too small and we had to make the decision to move to larger premises, otherwise there would have been no room for further growth and all publicity would have to have been suspended.
The bizarre excesses of youth may have given way to more 'grown up' activities, but we still believe in enjoying ourselves. We have a good mix of members, singles and couples, male and female, with ages ranging from 30s to 60s. A full programme of events awaits anyone who wishes to join and activities have included days and nights out, theatre and cinema trips, ghost walks, bowling, hiking, parties and barbecues, not to mention archery and gliding.
We've certainly found that there is a market out there and it has been encouraging to see so many new people join the Federation.
Lincs Quest group meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month, from 8.30 pm in The Crows Nest Hotel Balmoral Road (off Davenport Drive) Cleethorpes DN35 9ND.

Let World Cup Fever Take Over!!!!
Our annual 5-a-side football competition is open to all members across the UK.
So, if you fancy a bit of exercise and maybe a bit of silverware, get your trainers on, make up a team or join up with another one to take part. Do not worry if your group cannot find 5 people to make a team, just contact me to let us know you want to play and we will sot you into a team. Any team can have up to 2 subs, but cannot play for more than one team. Food in a restaurant nearby afterwards.
Personal and Club pride at stake!!!
