Between us we have many different interests and hobbies, but we all have the same reason for coming to our meeting, to make new friends, meet up with old ones, have tea and cake and most of all to have a laugh and a good time. We have guest speakers, gain knowledge and new skills. At the moment we are unable to meet because of Covid but when we start up again please come along, see what we do and join us for a cup of tea.
