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 Carol Concert, and on the third Saturday of the month our Members’ Meeting is a chance for members to get together for an update on new activities and Network business.
