We also (those who wish) sometimes go out for an evening meal and a good time is always had by all. Everyone is welcome to come along and meet old and new friends and share conversation and tea or coffee and biscuits. We also have a weekly raffle with a modest prize.
Don’t sit at home, come along and meet with a lively group (who on occasions put the world to rights) have a laugh and a change of scenery.
