We’ve had a brilliant 2025, we’ve had lots of fun and interesting meetings, we’ve learnt new skills, and made new friends. We’ve had plenty of social events with Hearty Diners and our film club. We’ve visited Bletchley Park, Highclere, Hallen Manor, learned interesting history facts about Gloucester on our walk with Gloucester Civic Trust, marvelled at the displays of cakes and crafts at The Creative Craft and Cake Show, enjoyed the Christmas lights at Westonbirt Arboretum, and ended the year with a fantastic Christmas panto party.
