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!
