The South Craven Retired Men's Forum provides regular opportunities for like minded
folk to make new friends and expand their interests. Meetings are held Tuesday
mornings from early October to the end of March from 9.30am to 11.30am in the South
Craven Baptist Church, Sutton-In-Craven. We begin with coffee and biscuits and time to
chat with friends, followed by a varied programme of entertainment by invited speakers
on a wide range of topics. Our purpose is to provide regular opportunities to keep minds
active and meet up with friends old and new. If you are retired or semi retired and wish
to do more with your spare time, then get in touch with us on one of the telephone
numbers below. Alternatively just turn up at a meeting and take a look at us. New
members are most welcome.
Membership fee is now £10.00 per year. The cost for each meeting of £2.00 is to cover
the weekly expenses, coffee and biscuits. We also have a fortnightly walking group, new
walkers welcome.
For further information telephone Bob Trunks on (01535) 633706, Ian White on (01535) 635588 or Roy Attwood on (01535) 632880.
To be added to the Forum mailing list please contact on the above numbers.
