Interest Groups

We have nearly 40 active Interest Groups
Our Groups Coordinator, Anne Eldridge, is the link between the groups and the committee and can be contacted via the Committee page or the direct link below. Group leaders and other members give their time voluntarily to plan and organise interest group activities. If any member wishes to start a new group please contact Anne. We are always looking for new ideas!

Please check with group leaders or Anne Eldridge for more information. Groups are meeting normally. Some groups are continuing to meet on Zoom as it suits them!
