Groups

You can join as many groups as you find time for! If there are other topics not covered, why not start your own group? There is help available to get you going and access the Third Age Trust resources. Most groups meet in members' homes, sometimes weekly, sometimes at other intervals, while others hire public rooms, to show DVDs and power-point presentations, etc.

For more information please contact the Group Co-ordinator.

Reports and photographs of recent group events can be seen by clicking on the link on the individual group page.
