Groups

We offer a wide range of activities for members and the list is growing. Some groups learn from each other, through sharing their knowledge, skills and experience, others share common interests (e.g. poetry, walking, playing an instrument), a few groups have a teacher/tutor and several arrange external visits.

Please browse through our list of groups below to see which ones might interest you. You can click on a individual group name,or first choose a category, day or venue that interests you and that will give you a list of groups to choose from. Either way, clicking on an individual group name will open a page with more details about the group and who to contact.
