The general meetings, social events and theatre trips are open to all members. At the general meeting as well as the Guest speaker there is the opportunity to view the notice boards of the interest groups and chat with their leaders and other members whilst having a cuppa.
The other events organised by individual interest groups may have spaces if you are interested. There are further details of all the events in the newsletter which can be collected at the monthly meetings or downloaded from the welcome page of this website. Alternatively you can contact the leader for more details by going to their page on this site and using the contact 'bird' -in most cases that sends an email directly to their personal email account
