In addition it has initiated/participated in a number of projects some of which are still ongoing. All enthusiastic volunteers are encouraged to join any of its projects!
It has a number of Winter meetings a year from October. SEE BELOW FOR PROGRAMME . The majority of its meetings are held in East Bridgford Methodist Church on the first Tuesday in the month at 7:30pm.
