Groups meet either in community halls or members' homes, depending on the group size. The location may limit numbers in some groups, in which case there will be a waiting list. We are always happy to set up a second group, which could be at a different location or at a different time or day, where there is sufficient interest and someone is prepared to lead the group.
The groups we currently run are listed below and you can search alphabetically, by day, by venue or by category. Click on a group to see more information on what it involves.
For groups meeting in rented accommodation the cost per member per attendance is £2.00 irrespective of the length of the meeting. For groups meeting in members’ homes the host decides whether a charge is made as a contribution towards refreshments.
We are always looking to add to the groups we can offer and some suggestions can be found by clicking the link ‘Possible New Groups’. If any of these are of interest, or you have thoughts on a completely different activity not listed, please contact the Groups Coordinator using the link on the Contact page.
