Update on Groups 16th March 2024
If you're looking for a group to join there are vacancies in Book Group 2; Needlework & other Crafts, Remarkable Women 2, Sketching Outdoors and Singing for Fun 1 at the moment. Walking Cricket is planning to start again on 18th April at Ridgway Park and has vacancies too. Birdwatching's first Spring outing is on 20th March at the Walthamstow Wetlands.
Roy is relaunching Asian Dining as Eastern Dining and meals are currently planned for 30 April and 21 May. Contact Lesley for more information if you are not on Roy's contact list. There are also vacancies in some of Howard's gently sporty groups, such as 10-pin bowling and golf.
Cinema Visits, Birdwatching, Epping Forest Walks and Freedom Pass Wanderers have no limit on numbers although you need to let the leader know to expect you - Lesley can supply contact details. Film Club may have spare places too - join Arthur's mailing list and check with him each month. For Cinema Visits ask Lesley to get you onto Hania's mailing list.
We are holding our annual Group Leaders' Meeting on the morning of Tuesday 26th March, at Winchester Road. Contact Lesley if you would like to add something to the Agenda - or indeed if you have other queries of any kind. As usual, Group Leaders are asked to bring with them a brief report on their activities over the last year. Coffee from 9:45am and the offer of a convivial (free) buffet lunch afterwards.
Any member can start a new interest group that isn't listed, it's really not difficult or a burden. It's just a great way of meeting new people and sharing some fun and laughter doing something you all enjoy. Could be architecture or astrology, cake-baking or crossword puzzles, history or hula-hooping! Just talk to Lesley about your idea and find out how we can advise and support you.
