We draw on the knowledge, experience, skills and enthusiasm of our members to organise and provide special interest groups. These provide opportunities for learning in a fun and friendly environment and include social, creative, and physical activities. Groups are held in various places including halls and members homes. All groups are self-financing and a small fee may be charged to cover the cost of hiring a hall, refreshments and incidentals such as photocopying, etc.
Groups currently running or at various stages of preparation are listed below. Click on the Group that you are interested in for further details.
If you have an interest in forming a new group, please contact the Groups Co-ordinator for an initial discussion and an outline of the procedure to be followed.
- Please remember to let your Group Organiser know if you are not attending any group meeting.
- Group Organisers will need to see your Membership Card at the first opportunity after the renewal in October each year.
The Group Support link provides further details for potential Group Organisers including information about online material.
