South Craven Retired Men's Forum

The South Craven Retired Men's Forum provides regular opportunities for like minded folk to make new friends and expand their interests. Meetings are held Tuesday mornings from early October to the end of March from 9.30am to 11.30am in the South Craven Baptist Church, Sutton-In-Craven. We begin with coffee and biscuits and time to chat with friends, followed by a varied programme of entertainment by invited speakers on a wide range of topics. Our purpose is to provide regular opportunities to keep minds active and meet up with friends old and new. If you are retired or semi retired and wish to do more with your spare time, then get in touch with us on one of the telephone numbers below. Alternatively just turn up at a meeting and take a look at us. New members are most welcome.

Membership fee is now £10.00 per year. The cost for each meeting of £2.00 is to cover the weekly expenses, coffee and biscuits.

For further information telephone Bob Trunks on (01535) 633706, Ian White on (01535) 635588 or Roy Attwood on (01535) 632880.



NEW MEMBERS VERY WELCOME!
