The activities of this group include talks and trips to local places of interest. The talk, at The British Legion Hall, begins at 2:30pm and is followed by refreshments. We finish at 4 pm. usually. We ask all members to contribute £2.00 a head for expenses. Limited parking is available in front of and behind the Hall. It's a fun and informative way to spend an afternoon once a month, and we are a friendly bunch! The talks are very varied and suit a wide range of interests. The hall is large and we are not at capacity! Do come along for a taster and see if you would like to become involved!
Here are all the dates for 2026 and the talks we have already arranged. Quite an eclectic mix but hopefully something for
