March 26th at the Compass at 7pm. All welcome. Sadly only 2 members turned up on this occasion due to a variety of reasons. However, asking the members at the monthly meeting showed a rising level of interest and we will continue to organise the events for a while longer. Watch this
space.

April 29th A walk around Delapre Lake is planned to coincide with Women Walk the World. More details to follow.
