It’s good to join the dance.
These are our present groups.
Since the lifting of COVID restrictions by the government people are able to meet indoors in a safe way. Please refer to the the information on this link. Group Leaders will have considered the implications of Covid-19 regarding the individual groups and will keep a register of attendees for this purpose. Members attend group meetings only if they are comfortable with the arrangements made. As I am sure you are all aware the number of cases of Covid-19 in Tavistock and West Devon is high. Please stay at home if you are at all unwell.
Click on the subject and find more about each group. If you would like more information on any of these groups, complete the details of your enquiry on the Contact page or Contact the group leader.
You can only join a group if you are a current member.
If there are no groups to tempt you or the ones you would like are full, think about running your own group. Our group liaison Sonja Armstrong is available for advice, support and general guidance. Her contact details are available on the Committee Contacts page or you can contact her via the Contact page.
