We are a friendly and sociable group who hold a meeting once a month. We are a rural group with members living in both Evesham and surrounding villages, currently Hinton on the Green, Broadway, Badsey, Offenham and Meon Vale. Meetings are held in our members homes, unless specified.
As we do not all live in Evesham the ability to drive to the meetings is a requirement there is no access to public transport to the villages.
Our programme is varied, alternating light hearted evenings with more serious topics and debates.
We regularly organise events outside our meetings, which include an annual summer walk followed by a meal in a pub or afternoon tea (sometimes partners are included), quizzing, visits to gardens and local places of interest, theatre and cinema, plus ad-hoc member suggestions.
