Information for anyone interested in joining one or more of our many and varied groups.

If you are interested in joining any of the interest groups, initially contact the group leader (details on the Groups insert with your In Touch News letter). Some of the popular groups may be full but it worth checking.

GROUPS AT WEEKENDS

It has been proposed that some members may be interested in joining ( or even running!) groups which would be active at weekends.

A suggestion has recently been put forward regarding the possibility of a group meeting up at the weekends, once a month, to play Table Skittles in a pub.

If you think this is a good idea and would like to take part, please contact the Groups Co-ordinator via the "Contact" section of the website.

If anybody has any suggestions for another weekend group contact groups co-ordinator.
