Meetings take place on varied evenings from September till May, twice monthly, 8pm, in members’ homes for discussions or speaker evenings always with the emphasis in participation. In addition there are visits and social events. Our membership is still growing and we are pleased to see participation in the Walkers Group also remaining steady with new ladies coming along to step it out each year. That group meets in the evenings at 7.30pm weekly from April till early September.
