Darby and Joan club

A social club for the elderly. It gets its name from the happily married elderly couple mentioned in Henry Woodfall's 1735 poem "The Joys of Love Never Forgot: A Song." Primarily heard in UK. My grandparents were very active with the local Darby and Joan club and made a lot of friends there. Any time we wanted to visit, we'd have to make sure there were no club activities going on! I'm sorry, your grandparents are out at their Darby and Joan club. Is there something I can help with in the meantime, honey? I'm not too worried about my parents moving away to Florida to live out their retirement. Knowing them, they'll find the Darby and Joan club and be busy with activities from day one.
