The advocacy group Grey Power in Warkworth has put a call out for “new blood”.
The group will hold its annual meeting in May and needs volunteers to join the committee.
If no-one comes forward, the group will go into recess.
President Carol Greenwood, who will retire at the meeting after three years at the helm, says if that happens it will be a loss for the community.
“Grey Power is non-political and advocates on behalf of people in the 50-plus age group, providing a voice for the elderly,” Carol says.
“We hold general meetings five times a year where issues relevant to our age group can be discussed and debated. There is always a guest speaker and over the years these talks have covered topics ranging from policing to health and library services.”
Carol says the club is in its current position mainly due to illness but with 260 members on the books, she hopes someone will come forward to stave off closure.
“A lot of new people are moving to the area so the need for Grey Power will only increase.”
