LOCAL INTEREST 2020
The group meets monthly, on the fourth Wednesday, to explore towns, museums and areas of interest.
We co-ordinate the ideas and suggestions put forward by the members, who in turn, plan and organise the monthly events, including of course a menu del dia lunch!
Our events are usually restricted to 25 members, in line with other groups, which we feel to be a sufficient number to shepherd around towns, museums and for making reservations in restaurants, although there are times when we can take more.
If you wish to join the group please contact Alan or Jenny Lister on Mob: 697 65 13 19 (Alan) or 600 873 166 (Jenny)
