WHAT'S ON
    
    For a community of our size, there is a tremendous variety of activities for people of all ages.  Some clubs meet on a regular basis while others are 'one-off' events.
    If there is any event that has been accidentally omitted, or maybe there is one that you would like to add, please e-mail me at danny.bethell@btinternet.com.  
    More information about what's on can normally be found on page 2 of the current Village Voices magazine here or using the link to it on the Home Page.
