What we’re about
Curious about why you should join yet another local group?
Firstly, we are a very welcoming, friendly and vibrant group run by an enthusiastic and local leadership team.
Members are mostly from the surrounding areas and usually in their 40s, 50s and 60s. This doesn't exclude those from further afield or exclude those younger or older! You are welcome to join, if you have a link to the area, new to the area or perhaps are keen to make new friends or try something different for 2023.
Secondly, our group's vision is to create interesting and enjoyable events that get us out of the house! With a greater focus on town rather than city activities, we love everything from good conversation relaxing in pubs to letting our hair down and dancing all night! We enjoy attending local gigs and festivals, organising well planned country walks and we especially love to try delicious food at local restaurants!
Our main aim is to ensure that you find leaving the house, perhaps meeting a bunch of strangers for the first time, a worthwhile experience, as we have all been there! So, we encourage everyone to try us out and see for yourself that it's a mixed group of friendly people from all walks of life.
As we are democratically run, we value all active members and we encourage everyone to share or suggest ideas for local (or further afield) events.
If you are keen to expand your social group, or just feel you'd like to show your face now and again, you are welcome to join in (plus fees have been waived for 2023!).
