Covid-Safe Activities
We have been having a fortnightly get-together in Millhouses Park in groups of 6 socially distancing. This has proved to be extremely popular and we have been getting up to 20 members turning up. We have tried zoom meetings on a Monday morning and the response has been good, so we propose to continue these. Our programme (below) will take place on Zoom until we are able to meet again in person.
Unfortunately during the lockdown our get-togethers in the park have been temporarily suspended.
Venue
We meet (in normal times) every Monday Morning (Bank Holidays excepted) at Holy Trinity Church Hall. The club is for retired gentlemen and we have very varied and interesting talks which begin at 10.30.a.m. and finish at 11.45.a.m.approx. From 10 a.m. free coffee or tea and biscuits are served. The atmosphere is very informal and we welcome new members to come along at no charge to see if they would be interested in joining our group. Wheelchair access is available.
