MONDAY MEET UPSMonday Meet Ups are at the Village Hallfrom 2.00 to 3.30 pm.Monday Meet Ups are for ANYONE, any age, anything to get away from the TV screen and meet others in ones community.People who would not normally go into a pub alone (shyness, not wanting to appear obviously alone) will hopefully make friends in an environment where they know others are in the same boat. Then who knows? They might pop in anytime. BECAUSE they can! With luck this will complement other community activities as folk become confident and connected enough to join in. |
