Events
A number of events are well-established in the Network’s Calendar. These include dinners, socials and musical evenings. Our annual craft fair and coffee morning is an important fund raiser for the Network, as is our annual Thrift Shop. Our monthly weekend coach trips, when we visit a wide range of places of interest, are very popular. We look forward each year to our Christmas Party and Network Choir Concerts, and our regular Members’ Meetings are a chance for members to get together for an update on new activities and Network business.
Members' Meetings
Taking place 4 times a year, these meetings provide the opportunity to get together with other members and committee members to socialise and be updated on new activities and Network business.
Coffee/tea and biscuits are available.
An external speaker is arranged to address the meeting on a range of topics of general interest. Details of dates and speakers can be found for each event on the Events section of our facebook page.
Minutes are produced and sent to all members.
Raffle tickets are sold for funds – donations for the raffle are always welcome.
Social Events
From musical evenings, Ceilidh dances, afternoon teas, art exhibitions and quiz nights, you'll find a wide range of events designed especially for our members
Coffee Morning and Craft Fair
The Network’s annual Coffee Morning and Craft Fair replaces the normal monthly members’ meeting in October and is an important fundraiser for the Network. Our “crafty” members work on items that can be sold at the fair. And those who love baking lend a hand too.
Network Choir Concerts
The Network Singers aim to plan two concerts a year, in the Spring as well as Christmas Carol Concert.
Christmas Party
Our annual members Christmas Party takes place in December. There’s musical entertainment, dancing and party games, and of course, a generous spread of food.
Group Leaders & Volunteers Lunch
The Network is underpinned by over 100 member volunteers who run our groups, stage events, fundraise, and carry out a wide variety of other support activities. A small token of appreciation of the work they do throughout the year is an invitation to our Volunteers Lunch which usually takes place in January.
