| Group email: | Discovering Villages group |
| When: | Monthly on Friday mornings 10:30 am 2nd Friday 10:30 |

We meet on the second Friday of each month at 10.30 am and visit a variety of villages, both locally and further a field.
We have a planning meeting in February each year when we agree which villages we will visit.
It is often possible to have a talk or tour from those with specialist knowledge of the village we visit, for example a member of the local heritage society. At other times we take it in turns to lead the meeting by researching the area and sharing our findings.
As we are often some distance from home, we usually stop for lunch in a local pub before returning
