Welcome to our web page
We are a friendly and active group and we meet on the third Monday of each month (except August) in Houghton Village Hall (SO20 6LP) at 10.30am. Visitors are made very welcome, and we pride ourselves on our refreshments! We celebrated our Centenary in 2018 and are now proud to be 103!
In normal times we take part in the County Skittles and Darts competitions and Quiz, and we also have outings to theatres, gardens or other places of interest to our members. Our Programme for 2019/20 included an outing to Wilton House and Garden, a “Behind the Scenes” tour of Salisbury Theatre (plus a play), a tour of a vast distribution centre in Solstice Park, Amesbury, and a silk-painting evening. Meetings were suspended in March 2020 but we kept in touch by phone and email and have recently held our first post-lockdown meeting. We are hoping that things will be back to some sort of normal from September and we are currently booking speakers. Details of upcoming meetings will be put in below when finalised.
We will be resuming our Lunch Club and Book Club which both meet monthly – the first to sample local eating-places and the second to provide an informal forum for discussing a wide variety of books, suggested by the members. We have also run an occasional Walking Club, usually involving a circular walk with a visit to an eatery along the way!
