Group Activities        

 

Outline details are given here of the regular group activities which form the major part of our programme.  In addition to those given, there is a Strolling Group tailored to the individual needs of members wishing to make the transition from couch potato or invalid to stroller or walker.  The Italian Group is in abeyance but hopes to start up again in 2010.  We also arrange an extensive programme of outings and holidays.
