Our welcoming, friendly group meets fortnightly on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings.
We enjoy topical discussions, quizzes, plays, poetry, themed evenings, walks and books. We also go to the theatre and visit places of interest.
Our main fortnightly meetings are held in the evening in halls in Luton and local villages. In addition to these meetings we have an evening book group, an afternoon potluck group, an afternoon discussion group all meeting in members homes and tea and chat meetings in local cafes. The garden group organises visits to local gardens and to members garden
