Interest Groups are formed by members who want to learn or share their knowledge about a particular subject or take part in a new activity, with one person taking on the role of group convenor.
If you would like to learn more about and participate in the activities of any of the Groups or want more information about what it does, please email the Convenor by clicking on their name at the top of the Group's page.
New Interest Groups can be formed at any time to learn about something new if enough members are interested in the subject and if someone is willing and able to act as Convenor. If you have an idea for a new Group and would be prepared to lead it, please speak to or send an email to the Group Coordinator Suzy Gardiner who will then discuss your proposal with the Committee.
Groups usually meet in one of their members homes or in one of the halls shown on this page.
The Groups that are currently running are listed below. Groups that are no longer meeting are shown under 'Links' on the right of this page. If you would be interested in reviving an inactive Group please speak to or click on the Group Coordinator to send her an email.
