The Current Affairs group meets on the first Monday of the month at 2.00 pm. We meet at the home of a member and this is decided at the close of each meeting.
We discuss any item of interest which will probably have appeared in the previous week-end media. Some items are of a political nature, others may be amusing or the result of reports by universities/research groups. Recent topics have included winter fuel allowance; child benefit; alcohol v. drugs; fire fighter strikes, and the Village plan. Occasionally we will discuss an item of local interest. All views are valid. The host may offer a cup of tea at approximately 3.30 pm - 4.00 pm. There is no charge. Currently we have 11 members but we have never had 100% attendance so we could accommodate one or two more people.
If you are interested, please contact Mary on 01676 532467.
