Groups

Finally, England has moved to step 4 of their Lockdown Easing Road Map which means there is now no limits on how many people can meet indoors or outdoors. Some of our groups have already resumed their meetings outdoors, e.g. the Walking Groups, Scrabble and Digital Photography Group. Other groups have been continuing to remain in contact via Zoom, Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger and by telephone. Some groups are planning to restart indoors but this is expected to be a slow return to normal activities and will be dependent on government advice. Individual groups pages will be updated as and when they restart.

Please send an email to your Group Contact via the 'Envelope' link on the group page for your group. This is the person who is most likely to have the latest information for the particular group you are enquiring about.

Groups – Time and Date, To get further information about a group please click on the NAME of the group which will link to another page giving more details.

All Group Contacts please try and keep your members updated by email or telephone and update the information on your group web page. If you are a Group Contact have a look at the 'All Group Contacts' information via the top link in the right hand column. This will give you an outline of how to update your group web page and there is a direct link to the Site Builder login page. If you are unsure of how to do this or need any further information please contact Elaine Orpe, Chair and Web Editor.

We do advise that any new members who are interested in joining a group make contact with the Group Contact to confirm a place is available and the date of the next meeting. This can be done by the 'Envelope' link on each group page.

If anyone has ideas for new groups, would like to set up a new group or would like to become a group contact please contact one of the committee. Please remember that as a Group Contact you are only part of your group and not expected to lead it. All members of a group should be involved in how it is organised, so don't feel overwhelmed - we are all here to help!

In line with the new General Data Protection Policy we no longer include the Group Contact's telephone number on our web pages unless they have specifically requested it be shown.
