You can also contact them at our monthly meeting.
We have a wide range of well established interest groups from which to choose. Each group is led by members with the relevant knowledge, experience or enthusiasm for the subject. Click the Group name in the Group List below for more information or the Special Interest Groups Link for a schedule of meetings each month.
In some cases groups are so popular that they are over subscribed (marked with a grey background). If a group is full a new group will be formed and listed on the New Groups page where you may register your interest. Full details of any additional groups will be given on the Website, in the Newsletter and at monthly General Meetings.
We are always happy to receive new ideas for groups and would like to hear from anyone wishing to get a new group established. We are also keen to find additional Group Leaders for Groups shown as oversubscribed (marked with a grey background). Please use the blue pigeon send a message button at the top of the page to get in touch with our New Groups Organiser.
IF THE GROUP YOU WANT TO JOIN HAS NO SPACES AVAILABLE PLEASE LET THE New Groups Organiser KNOW IMMEDIATELY BY CLICKING THE BLUE PIGEON LOGO ABOVE AND WRITE/SEND AN EMAIL VIA THIS WEBSITE.
