A WEST Dorset group celebrated their 70th anniversary.

Chideock Discussion Club celebrated their recent seven decade anniversary with a three-course lunch.

After lunch, past members of the club cut a celebratory cake, made especially for the occasion.

The main theme from the after dinner speeches was the need for younger members to join the club to help them progress.

All competition trophies and cups from the past were on display, as well as three older minute books and photographs of trips the club members had enjoyed.
