Life Natters - 1st Wednesday of the month, 2-4pm - from 4th February

Stuart likes thinking about these sorts of things and would be happy to share thoughts about them. Come and put the world to rights over a cuppa and biscuit with him. No ‘Party Politics’ in the discussion and everyone has to play nicely. Otherwise, no rules. The aim is that we feel better after chattering and nattering for an hour or two.
