19. WHAT IF THERE ISN’T A GROUP THAT CATERS FOR MY SPECIAL INTEREST?
We are always on the look-out to start up new groups, and it’s possible that your interest is shared by others. The first step is to contact the Groups Coordinator to find out if the subject or activity has already been suggested by others. Usually the next step is to put out feelers at a monthly meeting or via the Monthly Bulletin, or to contact people who might be interested in joining you. If sufficient people express an interest, it is a short step to getting the new group off the ground. The Groups Coordinator will advise on suitable times and places to hold your meetings. Putting forward an idea for a new group doesn’t necessarily mean that you will have to be the group leader; someone else may be willing to do this.
