Our Woodley Group started in 1970 and we were originally called the Gingerbread Group. We enjoy having informal discussions on a wide range of topics, quizzes, occasionally having speakers and during the summer months visits to places of interest.

We are a small group with ten members at the present time, and we meet in each others houses every two weeks, alternating between Wednesday evening 19:30 and Friday morning 10:00. We serve refreshments and there is always time for a chat after we have done our pre planned meeting topic. During the last two winters we also had an extra evening for a quiz held over Zoom. We plan our programme in advance three times a year.
As well as our Local Organiser Sue we also have Deidre as our Treasurer and Lynn as Publicity Organiser. Amongst other things Lynn posts our activities on NWR social media. Moira runs our Zoom Quiz and all of the group help out when the need arises. We have an active WhatsApp group.
A couple of highlights from the year are our Summer and Christmas parties, held at the end of July and December where we all provide the refreshments.
All new members can be assured of a warm welcome and you may attend three taster sessions before joining us. Please click on our Events listed below. Download our programme, contact us and come along to one of our meetings
