Monday Club

The Monday Club is a social group aimed at bringing together anyone over the age of 50 to share interests, activities and the obligatory brew and biscuit. The group usually meets on alternate Mondays in the Parish Centre at 2pm, however, it has not been possible to meet during the pandemic. We hope to have this group up and running again as soon as it is safe to do so.

Watch this space for announcements of when the packed programme of talks, activities, trips, quizzes and more will begin again.
