Groups
When you discover a group that you are interested in you can contact the groups coordinator who will put you in touch with the relevant group leader to find out a little more about what goes on and, if it appeals, ask about joining. Some groups can take new members straight away, whilst others may operate a waiting list where accommodation or subject matter limits attendance. Many activities take place in members’ homes. Group leaders are volunteer facilitators, not tutors, and groups tend to operate in an informal and collaborative way. Indeed, you may identify a gap in the market and set up your own new interest group.
Here is a list of our current groups, showing the day(s) of the month on which they regularly meet as well as the time of meetings.
