Interest Groups
Interest Groups are small groups formed by members with a shared interest, with one person taking on the role of Group Leader. Each group operates independently but with support from an overall Group Co-ordinator.
To date we have the following groups up and running or being offered
New groups can be formed at any time provided there are enough interested people and a person willing to act as Leader.
For further information please talk to the Group Co-ordinator Sue Ponting or send an email using the Contact Page.
To add a website page for a new group, the person who intends to lead the group should send new group information to the Assistant Web-Master below.
To update the information on your Group Page - or to add or update photographs, contact........
