Thom's Blokes

We are a friendly bunch of blokes who meet monthly on the third Tuesday of the month.  Anyone is welcome to join us.  For some meetings we take a trip out to a nearby place of interest - please phone Tony Witham on 07983663398 if you want to book a place on a trip. The cost of these visits depends on the admission price at the venue.

When we're not going on a trip we meet at 1pm in the Church Centre to listen to a guest speaker – the cost then is £3 per person. There is no need to book - just turn up!  Talks range over a wide variety of topics.
