Westcliff
This branch is now permanently closed. Many thanks to the committee and the members for attending for many years.
JACS is the acronym for Jewish Association of Cultural Societies and was set up to fill a perceived need among people who, though retired, were looking for a way of using their still active minds. It was felt that age should equate with maturity of judgement, not the apathy of senility. With this sentiment in mind JACS was set up over 35 years ago and there are now many branches. Although most branches are in London, there is also one in Brighton and of course Westcliff. The Westcliff branch members go along each Wednesday for intellectual pleasure. Doors open 1pm. Apart from their own activities the Westcliff branch also take part in those that are shared with the whole body of JACS such as holidays at home and away.
JACS warmly welcome all new members.
We have a range of guest speakers, entertainers, outside visits and individual events connected to the Chagim (festivals).
After the presentation / entertainment we serve tea or coffee and cakes.
Branch Chairman: Mr. Allan Goldstein.
