One-Off Events & Social Activities

Speakers & Special events

We hold regular day-time talks by different speakers. Recent subjects include the history of lingerie, The Pride of Britain Awards, the life and career of actress Hattie Jacques and flower arrangement demonstrations. Other special activities include quizzes, race nights and visits to museums etc. Each year we also organise a subsidised annual Christmas party with festive fare and professional entertainment.

Pub Lunches

Every third Thursday in the month we organise a meet up for lunch in different pubs across the City and surrounding areas. A great way to meet new people and make friends.

Day’s out

We organise regular coach trips to nearby towns and attractions such as Gloucester Docks, Llangollen, Ludlow, The World of Wedgwood, Buxton and Oxford to name but a few. These are very competitively priced, plus there is the added benefit of being able to park your car for free at The Goodyear Pavillion where our coaches depart and return to.
