Social - for All Members

The social aspects of our Interest Groups are very important, but we also organize social activities that are not associated with any particular Interest Group and are open to all members.  They are aimed at providing a bit of gentle physical and/or mental exercise, often with an element of friendly competition, but Lycra or Mensa membership are definitely not required!

More suggested activities:

  • Local archery activity.
  • Skittles tournament
