We meet on various weekdays (morning, afternoon and evening meetings are arranged) about once a fortnight and cover a variety of topics, serious and light-hearted. At present, meetings are a mixture of outdoors, indoors and via Zoom. We always enjoy food and drink-related events and have social outings to the ballet, theatre, restaurants, cinema, gardens etc, when we can.

We don’t have separate clubs but incorporate book review evenings and walks within our programme. We have a Treasure Hunt, a summer BBQ and a Christmas/ New Year party to which partners are invited. A very friendly and welcoming group. Please send us a message and someone will get in touch with more details.
