Groups
Our members come together in groups to study and enjoy any subject or pastime which they find interesting. Most of our groups are run by members and meet on a regular weekly or monthly basis, in local venues or in members’ homes.
Information about each group is included in the links to the individual group pages below. If you are interested in joining a group please contact the group leader using the contact icon.
Suggestions for new groups are welcomed. Ideas are advertised to try to attract sufficient potential members to initiate a planning meeting and get a group established. Members wishing to form a new group should contact one of the Group Co-ordinators via the Contact page.
