THE CORONAVIRUS IS PLAYING HAVOC WITH OUR GROUP ACTIVITIES! MOST HAVE CLOSED DOWN FOR THE MOMENT. CHECK WITH GROUP LEADERS FOR THE CURRENT STATE OF PLAY. There may be some continuing activity not involving social interaction.
Most groups have a set schedule, some decide next meeting dates on an ad hoc basis. Some meet weekly, some fortnightly some less frequently. At 12/3/2020 the activities across the week were as shown in the attached spreadsheet (click Days for Group activities). It is, of course subject to change.
Most meetings are held in members homes and, apart from a contribution to the cost of refreshments, are free of charge. However, some groups need to rent accommodation and also, sometimes, to hire or purchase equipment. In such cases, arrangements will be made for the costs to be recovered from group members, either over a period of time or, in some cases, as an initial one off payment.
We are always looking for new groups. If you have an idea for one, we will help you to get started, finding a venue and recruiting members.
Group Leaders are reminded that they will be handling members' personal data and that they must take care not to allow it to be accessed by anyone else, other than members of the Committee, without the explicit permission of the affected members.
For more information about this and about any existing group, please consult the most recent Newsletter or, as a last resort, email the Group Secretary on groupsec@elmbridgeu3a.org.
