April

We dipped our toes into the Zoom waters with 'Conference Call Bingo' and had a second catch up to get to grips with all things virtual!

May

Our usual Annual Meeting was put on hold until we could meet again (such optimism!), instead we came together for a Bring-Your-Own Quiz Night with members and visitors contributing a question each.

A few members joined together for a virtual afternoon tea to mark the 75th anniversary of VE day.

December

Members received an activity pack alongside our Zoom Christmas p
