Newsletter

The Group produces a newsletter, MAINBEAM approximately every 2 months. The content is provided by Group Members and covers a variety of fairly light hearted topics that are usually, but not necessarily, motoring related. The newsletter relies on its regular contributers to fill the pages, but we welcome contributions from anyone who has something to say and wants to share it with others.

Group Social Events

Tuesday 10th August 2010,

The autumn Group social will be led by Bob Cheetham who will be discussing the benefits of personal safety around the home, in the car and on the streets.

The winter Group social is a departure from our normal format. This will be a social evening with a difference because it's going to be exploring the world of the paranormal—ghosts and spirits!
