FREE entry for those entitled to free membership as a result of their age (and where necessary their care givers). Most members bring a packed lunch but it is possible to buy food close by the Community Centre. While we are happy to help beginners for a first session, from their second meeting onwards we are only able to support beginners who become members of the group.
