Glass of Red Wine Thursday Club
The Thursday Club {known by some as the Thirsty Club ! } meets monthly for people who like to enjoy life and have the time to do so.
On the 2nd Thursday afternoon of each month we gather in the Village Hall to participate in activities which range from craft workshops and quiz sessions to talks on varied subjects such as travel , photography, gardening, local history, and  steam trains. In June each year we have a garden party, thanks to the generosity of various members.
Each month we also sample a pub lunch in one of the many pubs in the region, and we organise several trips out during the year .
