Clubs give me nothing to enjoy
LETTER - In 12 months' time, I shall reach my next milestone birthday, when I celebrate my half century. So what can I look forward to?

Looking through the paper, I can see various activities and clubs for over 50s. Let's have a look - whist drive (I have no idea what that is), coffee mornings (but I still work), pool evenings (if I want to do that I can pop down to the pub); beetle-drive (haven't done that since I was a kid) and sing-song around the piano.
In my opinion, the organisers should have a look at what we half century people really like to get up to. I like going to rock clubs and motorbike rallies.
I ride a Ducati motorbike (and I run a motorbike club) and I want adventure. I am planning a mystery tour of Europe next summer with my son, both of us on motorbikes.
If these clubs and activities are anything to go by, what on earth do I have to look forward to? Pass me some more wool for this bed jacket I'm knitting.
