Coffee/Tea is provided at 25p per cup, filled rolls served for lunch are 70p each and soup (winter only) 50p. Subs are £2.50 per session
Young At Heart
Young At Heart group has been going since February 2009 and members have had great fun doing all sorts of activities. If you feel ‘Young At Heart’ and you think you can help yourself and others achieve something that maybe you think you cannot do because of sight loss then come and join in. The group meets fortnightly doing a range of activities and visits/day trips such as Horse Racing at Towcester, Gosport Naval Docks, along the Gower Peninsula or a Canal Boat trip.
Social Club
This meets at Walford Hall on the 2nd Tuesday of each month between 14:00 and 16:00. There is a varied programme of speakers, entertainers, occasional bingo and an annual outing.
Ramble Group
The ramblers meet on alternate Mondays, whatever the weather, during the school term time. They use the Association’s minibus to go into the country for walks which always include a pub lunch.
Out and About
A series of small outings (typically once a month) are arranged during the year. Information is published in the newsletter. The trips are more local such as to garden centres, museums (including the REME museum at Arborfield), arboretums, Millets Farm and the lambing sheds at Rushell’s farm.
