We meet in the evenings usually on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. We are a vibrant group that have a book group and also arrange outings. We have some daytime meetings as well as regular group meetings in the evening every two weeks. The varied programme includes both light-hearted and serious discussion topics and features contact with other nearby groups.
