INTEREST GROUPS are all run by volunteers giving their time, skills and experience to offer you the opportunity to not only get out and about but also to learn a new skill and to meet others like yourselves with an enthusiasm to learn. Some groups have an extra charge each time to cover costs e.g. hiring a hall.
Click on the appropriate group to find detail of the Coordinator and how the group operates.
If a group is full, the Coordinator will add you to a waiting list with others wanting to join the group. You can also talk to Gill Sewell, Group's Coordinator at one of our General Meetings, where you will find group information, ideas for new groups and sign-up sheets. Or you can send her an email using our Contact page to send your message.
Additionally, if you wish to contact a particular Coordinator, you can do this via the individual group's page by clicking on the email link at the top of the Group's page to send a message direct.
