SOCIETIES
The information on these pages comes from

The following paragraphs give all the details of the village clubs and societies (At the time of the Appraisal 1997) - what to expect, where to go at what time and who to contact. The code 01795 applies to all contact numbers.
Gentle stretch and exercise to music. We are more a 'fun' group than a
strict regime - young mums to younger and older grandmothers. If you can walk
you are welcome to try us out for a fun evening - but only if you are prepared
to laugh with us.
