An annual programme caters for a wide range of interests and typically includes planned holidays, weekend breaks, special visits to National Trust and other properties and country walks, as well as enjoyable fund-raising events, social functions and a winter season of illustrated talks. There is a drop-in lunch on the last Wednesday of each month. There can be few better ways of making new friends than participating in Association activities with people of similar interests.

A lively Newsletter is published four times a year to keep members informed of the activities of the Association and of forthcoming events.
