Friendship Group
The Friendship Group meets every second week on a Thursday afternoon. At
present there are over 40 people attending. It is a group for both men and
women and there is a feeling of friendship and caring within the group.
There are a variety of speakers and entertainers with something to interest
everyone. Before the group starts at 2.00pm, i.e. from 1.25pm until 1.50pm,
there is a very gentle seated exercise class to music, called ‘Movin' Aboot,’
for those who wish to attend. It is a fun time and the simple exercises are
not beyond the less able.
Although the Friendship group started out for the more senior members of the
congregation they would welcome some younger people on board too.
Our programme for this year looks like this:
