The autumn changeover has now completed with some of our summer groups pausing for the winter and our Snooker Group (open to new members) resuming on Wednesday mornings.

The latest group to make a start is our Spanish Group which has now held a first meeting - details on the Spanish Group page.

I have been asked about a second Cycling Group – if anyone else is interested, please contact me, Paul F, so that I can put you in touch with other interested people.

Birdwatching 1 has a new Group Contact and is in search of new members. They meet on the third Monday of each month - see Birdwatching 1.

For any groups finding it difficult to find a suitable venue, I have been compiling a list of venues and costs. Please email me Paul F for a copy.

A couple of notes for our group leaders:

Please remember that the definitive statement, accessible to all, regarding groups with vacancies, is on our web site. Please check the page for your group and ask our Webmaster to update it if required.

Please check the contact information for your group shown on the members portal and let me know if changes are required.

I now have a long list of groups where at least one person has expressed an interest, but we have not yet managed to get a group started. Here are just five of the recent suggestions:

• Ghost Hunting
• Antiques & Collectibles
• Classic Cars
• Pickleball
• Walking Football

If any of these (or anything else) is of interest to you, please contact me, Paul F..

Please look at the Groups page on our website, where you can find information on all of our groups and quickly identify those that have room for new members.
