We are a lively group and offer a friendly welcome to all. If you are thinking of joining us come for a
free ‘taster’ evening. Our monthly meetings include a varied selection of demonstrations and speakers, a few creative competitions, time to chat and lots of humour and fun. Our lunch club and planned outings are always popular. There is also the
opportunity to join in Federation meetings and training. Playing an active role in Haughley’s community life and events is particularly important to us and we hope to develop this support further in 2024.

We meet at 7.30pm in the Summer and 7pm in the Winter
