A second Leighton Buzzard NWR group started in late January 2025 and already has over 20 members.

Membership of NWR is the perfect opportunity to make more local friends. Our fortnightly discussion meetings include a mixture of light-hearted and more serious topics. There is no obligation to contribute to the discussion if you’d prefer just to listen and there will always be time for a friendly chat to get to know each other. Currently our meetings are held on a Thursday in a public venue in Leighton Buzzard town centre, starting at 10.30am and finishing at 12 noon.

We’ve started a Canasta group which is proving popular and a knitting and crochet group, a ‘Between the Covers’ book group is starting soon as is modern board games groups. We’ve also had our first walk followed by lunch with future dates arranged. Other sub-groups and outings are being discussed, eg, cinema, theatre, museums etc – lots of choice!

Membership to NWR gives you access to so much more than local group meetings – there’s national online meetings, regional and national conferences, talks, exercise classes, virtual book clubs, a digital quarterly magazine, newsletters and closed members only Facebook groups. You can contact us to join as a member of NWR today to access all our online events and activities.

We’d love you to join us! Please get in touch using the contact button to find out more and how to attend a free trial session. We look forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you to our group.
