Throughout the year, we organise a variety of Social Events like Wine Tasting evenings, Ceilidhs, Skittles nights and Inter-Group Quizzes. If you or your Group have an idea for a social event, please chat with one of our Chairs at a Tuesday Live or Coffee Morning, or reach out via the Contact page.
If you want to catch up with friends, our monthly Tuesday Live and Coffee Mornings are the ideal places to be. For those looking to travel and explore, several Activity Groups—including AwayDays, Theatre, and Art Appreciation—run regular trips for their members (click their links to explore further).
To make sure you never miss out, keep an eye on this page and on our monthly Magazine for details on upcoming Tuesday Live presentations and the latest group trips.
