MONTHLY MEETINGS
We have now moved away from the Tithe Barn, and returned to the United Reformed Church.
However, in some instances we will use Zoom or other venues, so please keep checking this website, or look in your Newsletter to confirm the venue.
Format - Doors open at 1:00pm, with a cuppa available from 1:30. The meeting begins at 2:00pm on the First Wednesday of the month.
Free Tea and Coffee - Another new innovation is to make our meetings as environmentally friendly as possible by asking members to please bring their own mugs. There will be a choice of teas and coffee available.
We usually run a raffle so make sure you get there early to enjoy your cup of tea/coffee and buy your raffle tickets.
