We meet weekly alternating meetings in the town hall with field trips.

The convenor does the group admin, but members take turns to present a topic and organise and lead the group visit the following week. All members have to do this once a year, but new members are excused for the first term!

We have had many interesting visits, including factories, breweries, museums and historical sites– in fact the range stretches from stately homes to a sewage works! We usually start our visits with coffee and finish with lunch.

Members need to have their own transport as some of the venues are off the beaten track, and the group does not organise transport. Members also need to be aware that many of the visits involve a considerable degree of walking and standing.
