“There is usually a waiting list to become a member, so we expect the current vacancies to go quickly and urge people to get in touch early to avoid disappointment.”

Meetings have been taking place online, but members are ready to start socialising again and enjoying regular events including pub walks, skittles, bridge, and coffee mornings.

Day trips will also resume with stately home and garden visits, theatre trips and river boat cruises likely to feature as in the past; and there is usually a short break holiday.
