Romsey & District

Groups

Membership provides access to as many groups as you would like to join.

Groups meet at various times of the day, days of the month and in various locations - click on the group name below for details .

Some groups have a limit on numbers so there may be a waiting list to join.

Groups are self-funded so there may be a small charge for refreshments or to cover the cost of venue hire. Where travel by coach or car is involved and although these costs are always minimised, members will need to contribute to the cost.

If you are interested in a particular group then make contact either by telephone if a number is shown or by sending an email using the link on the page of the relevant group (if there is one), or via the CONTACT tab in the top menu.

If your particular interest is not yet represented you could consider starting a new group. Help will be given.
