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.

"We are currently a group of 9 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."

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.
Architecture 2
The latest visit to Speaker's House in August proved a big success with the group. Rebuilt by British architect Charles Barry after the great fire of 1834 it is one of the most stunning parts of the Palace of Westminster with amazing views over the Thames.
