There are currently over 100 active groups but there is always room for more. If you have an interest that you would like to pursue or knowledge to share with others please consider forming a group. The Q&A sheet should help but you would also get plenty of support from the group coordinators.
New Groups
Sunday Lunch Club 3
Our members certainly seem to enjoy dining out! A third Sunday lunch club is starting up. Meeting the 2nd Sunday of the month. Visiting local pubs and restaurants chosen and booked by members in turn.
Italian Conversation
This new group is aimed at those fluent in speaking Italian. We are currently collecting names of members who are interested in joining such a group and the details will be worked out once we have sufficient people.
Spaces
Book Group 1
Despite us having six book groups it is unusual to find one with a vacancy. Meeting the 1st Wednesday of the month, this group finds itself in this strange position!
German Conversation 1
Currently seeking new members, this group meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.
Ukulele
"We are currently a group of 11 and meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday in the morning. We would like to expand the group and have taken a venue in Redhill for our meeting to enable us to become a bigger group. If you are interested in joining this FUN loving group,all you need is a Ukulele and a sense of humour. We would love to meet you no matter what your musical capabilities might be."

Group Activities
Cycling Group August News
The August cycle ride was from the Farmhouse at Horley to Smallfield, down to Felbridge, onto the Worth Way, and a stop at Rowfant for coffee. We rode back through Copthorne to the Farmhouse for a pub lunch (getting a bit lost in the wooded bridle path area by Haroldslea!) - a distance of 19 miles. The photo shows us by Hedgecourt Lake, which has an interesting history dating back to the 14th century, and is also a place where Frederick Forsyth lived
Haroldslea and Thunderfield also have an interesting history dating back to Anglo Saxon times https://www.horleyhistory.org.uk/thunderfield/
The Earth and Environmental Science group on a field trip to Rye Harbour. We had a fabulous day looking at shingle banks, longshore drift, saline lagoons, sea kale, yellow horned poppies, vipers bugloss and various birds including whiteears, egrets and curlews.
The visitor centre, cafe and weather were fantastic which also helped.
