Groups
+++++++ Coronavirus +++++++++++
Some groups have tentatively re-started; others have continued throughout via video. Please contact your group leader to check the current status of your group.
========================================================================
Interest groups aim to share knowledge, skills and experience in an enjoyable way with no major financial outlay. Groups meet as often as they choose but typically weekly, fortnightly or monthly. New groups are formed as required by members and we always welcome and encourage the formation of new groups.
All interest groups are self-financing and develop according to the members' wishes. The costs of running a group are shared amongst the members of that group, eg to cover the cost of a venue and refreshments, and car sharing is encouraged. Attendance at meetings may be subject to the space available at the venue.
You can join a group at any time. Don't worry about having to "catch up", the Group Organiser will help you settle in and the other group members will make you very welcome.
To email a Group Organiser please visit the appropriate group page listed below or click on the "carrier pigeon" above right. The Groups calendar is shown at the bottom of the page.
We hope you find something of interest. If not - and you have any ideas for other activities - we would love to hear from you. Members have asked if it would be possible to have the following groups: Films/ cinema visits, guitar tuition, Computers IT support, Bridge, Motor bike group for ride outs. We need people to come forward to help start these, so if we can encourage anyone to consider helping please let Liz Ouldridge know.
For general advice on running or starting an interest group, please speak to Liz Ouldridge, email Groups Coordinator
