IN MEMORY OF ROBIN WRIGHT
15 August 2024
At a church service held in the Annesley Gardens/Sheariton Hall on 10 July 2024, a lovely wooden bench crafted by a resident, Toytjie Bekker, was dedicated to the memory of Rev Robin Wright, who was a much loved resident of Annesley Gardens for many years, and who passed away in January 2024.
The bench was made using wood which Robin had stored in his garage. In the photo are Marian, Robin’s widow, who cut the ribbon, and Toytjie. The bench has been placed outside of the Hall, in the braai area, and will be a constant reminder to all of a great man, who contributed so much to the community spirit in the village.
NINETY IS JUST A NUMBER!!

On 22 June 2024 the Aldersgate village residents gathered in their Hall for a morning’s celebration of its Nonagenarians, to enjoy wonderful refreshments, and the cheerful music presented by the talented Aldersgate Singers. Nonagenarians comprise 15% of the total number of residents at Aldersgate, and no less than 22 of Aldersgate’s 24 nonagenarians were available to attend the party.
MHA life is surely an essential ingredient in the recipe for longevity---currently amongst the 526 residents across MHA are 71 nonagenarians (14%). God bless them, one and all!
