JOIN IN
Regular meeting are held, usually on the third Tuesday of the month (except August and December). All are welcome and our meetings and events are free. To raise some funds, we are grateful for donations and have set up a membership scheme of £5 per year so those regularly joining in can show their support. This income is helpful when we apply for funding for projects.
We are always looking for volunteers to help at events (talks, stands at fetes and festivals etc), work on the web site, sew boomerang bags , become a river monitor measuring water quality in the River Lim etc. If you have an idea for a project, do let us know.
