Hobbies Connect

This is the space which allows you to reach out and connect with other members who share your interests in an informal way. Initially there would be no Group Leader, making it less formal than a Group, although it might develop into a formal Group at some stage, but only if you wish.

The Groups Co-ordinator, Sue Cain, has agreed to act as convenor, the person to whom you will indicate your interest, and she will put it out to the membership. The object, like Groups, is that it can be absolutely anything but probably with a smaller number. It might just be a one-off, such as a theatre visit or something more regular.

Here are some ideas of what you might wish to connect with others for just to get the ball rolling, but we are sure you will think of many more:
