We are a friendly group of thirteen members who currently meet fortnightly in members’ homes on Tuesdays at 7.30 p.m.
Our meetings are a mixture of discussion, research undertaken by members and some light hearted topics.
The majority of us meet socially on non-meeting Tuesdays for morning coffee at local venues.
We have a meal twice a year, discuss a book once a year, chosen by the members from the NWR Big Read List (or a topic of our choice), and we have Planning Meetings twice a year. Our meetings are lively with a wide selection of topics.
We go for a walk locally on the second Saturday of the month starting at 9.30 a.m. followed by a coffee at a local venue.
Please see our current programme below.
If you would like to find out more then please contact our Local Organiser, Sheila Taylor.
