Keyworth

We started in 1975, and our numbers have stayed in the high 20’s for most of this time. The jobs are shared among members so that none of them become too onerous and everyone gets a chance to be involved. We have a Book Group and a Lunch Group, who meet once a month. The books are chosen democratically and the venues for lunches are generally based on recommendation. We organise three or four events a year, usually including partners. These can be Summertime Walks, Skittles, Quiz Night, Sunday lunches, ‘Pimms and Poetry’ evenings and other similar enjoyable activities. We generally have two or three speakers each year on a variety of topics, examples being Fairtrade, Supporting the Homeless, a local Children’s Hospice and on a lighter note we had ‘The experiences of a retired Theatre Wardrobe Mistress’. We like to think our programmes embrace the spirit of NWR, some serious discussions and some more light-hearted evenings.
