Groups

What do you fancy taking up?

We offer well over thirty different interest groups and provided there is space you can join as many as you wish. Some are free and some will charge a small fee to cover the room hire and refreshments.

Take a look at the list below to see what on offer.

We are always looking to start new ventures so perhaps you could suggest or help to run a new group. We have lots of support to get you going.
