‘The Group is comprised of a number of enthusiastic and friendly people who are happy to pass on their experiences and knowledge about cactus and succulent plant growing. We meet on the afternoon of the second Saturday every month, except April ... There is usually a visiting speaker who will give a talk accompanied by slides and/or plants.’

'We welcome all ages from youngsters still at school to those at the other end of life’s scale.  All that is needed is an interest in our local history – our heritage. Membership varies from those who have undertaken detailed research into various aspects of our local history, to  others who are simply interested in the past, and in particular in our own area.  Several of our members have published books on aspects of our local history, whereas others are content to read the fruits of their studies ... Each month we welcome a speaker. Topics covered are varied and the talk is usually accompanied by slides or other illustrative material. Sometimes the speaker will bring along a small selection of documentation or ephemera to share with us.'

Monthly meetings, Wednesday evenings.

'Evening meetings start promptly at 8.00 pm and afternoon meetings at 2.30 pm. A small admission fee is charged to cover the costs of speakers, hall hire and refreshments. Members are welcome to bring guests to any of our meetings.'

Occasional talks and lectures.
