Groups

We have over 70 groups. We have groups that stimulate creativity like Creative Writing or Drawing and Painting; activity-based groups like Pilates, Walking for Pleasure or Pickleball; discovery-based groups like Science and Technology or Environment and Climate Change; social groups like Bridge, Members on their Own or Wine Appreciation; and literature groups like Play Reading or Book Groups.

The style of our group meetings is informal and friendly. Some members lead groups, some share tasks - it is up to each individual as to how committed and involved he or she becomes.
