We meet generally once a month, except February, for a drive to a lunch venue with a visit to various houses, museums, gardens, or other places of interest. We hold a staycation for a couple of days away each year, usually in the Spring, which allows members from further afield to join us.
Upcoming Events
National Memorial Arboretum Arlewas
After many years we return to this venue to see how it has developed as it celebrates 25 years.
We will meet in the cafe between 10.30a.m./11.00a.m.
The rest of the day is at your leisure. There are lots of options on how to spend your time there.
Remember to let us know your coming so parking can be organised. Full Info in bulletin.
