Interest Groups

We love our interest groups and are open to suggestions for new ones. Our Programme and Interest Group Convenors will be happy to assist any member wishing to start a new group on these or other areas of interest. Groups meet monthly in members’ homes or at pre-arranged destinations. Sign-up takes place at our September Tea. New members are encouraged to join at any point in the year. These smaller groups often lead to great friendships!
