In addition to our fortnightly general meetings we have a number of special interest Groups that meet separately. Members can join Group meetings without attending General meetings.
The groups are both academic and leisure related. They cover a wide range of subjects: Art and Music, Science, Literature, Languages, Crosswords, Current affairs, History, Gardening, Handicrafts, Play Reading, Poetry Appreciation, Walking and more.
See below for more detailed information about groups.
If the group you are looking for is not there, you may contact the Groups Coordinator Brian Ball with your suggestion or question.
Note: For some Groups you can send a message to the Group Leader via the Group Page, otherwise see Group Contact Details.
For a more general query you can contact any Committee member by email, see the Committee page for links. Alternatively you can send a message to the Chairman, Membership Secretary or Website Editor via the Contact page.
