The Hibernian Historical Trust are holding Football Memories meetings inside Easter Road Stadium between 11 am and noon on the first Monday of each month and supporters of all clubs are made more than welcome.
The meetings allow people with dementia and other memory problems to enjoy talking football and looking back at old photographs and memorabilia.
Anyone wishing to attend should have the capability of making their own way to Easter Road Stadium either on their own or accompanied by friends or family who will also be made welcome.
The Hibernian Historical Trust is a supporter led initiative entirely independent from the football club. To find out more about this programme please contact Tom Wright on curator@hibernianhistoricaltrust,org.uk or phone 0131 656 7061
The meetings which are run by volunteers, are very informal and take place in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Split into smaller groups, there is usually just a general discussion of the old days (not always football) with the help of photographs, items of memorabilia and occasionally short DVD’s of games.
Those attending can either join in the chat or just sir back and listen, there is absolutely no pressure exerted. Everyone appears to look forward to the meetings which often run over the allotted hour, and many of the participants have since become good friends.
All welcome. Tea coffee and biscuits will be supplied.
There is no charge.
