If you can't see anything for you but have some ideas, please feel free to contact the organisers who will be more than happy to host an event for you or become an organiser yourself.
If joining a new social group seems daunting don't worry, you'll always be made to feel welcome and comfortable, bring along a friend if it helps. It's a relaxed group and home to a wide range of personalities and interests. Most events are free, but we do ask active members to pay £5 a year to help towards group running costs..
