Here is a list of the groups we run. Most groups meet monthly but some e.g. Bridge meet more often. Small groups usually meet in members' homes; larger groups in one of several local venues, including the Medway Centre in Bakewell.
Further information about each groups is available by clicking the group name in the list below and most group pages provide a way of contacting the group to find out more about their activities. Group coordinators can provide further information about activities of their respective groups. (The groups are run by volunteers and occasionally a group has to suspend its activities or the group coordinator is unable to respond to messages. If you don't get a response to a message within a few days then you should send a message to General Enquiries ).
