A GROUP of elderly residents in the Garelochhead area gathered on Friday to celebrate a village community group’s 60th birthday.

Members of Garelochhead Senior Citizens travelled to the Rosslea Hall Hotel in Rhu for a special afternoon tea to mark the anniversary of the group’s founding in 1957.

The group meets on the first and third Thursdays of the month in October, November, February and March, with a Christmas lunch in December and a single monthly meeting in January.
