Things to Do

There are activities to interest all ages in various parts of the website but, for the convenience of those wishing to see the full list, all the activities are brought together on this page. Most of the activities are based in the church halls where there's easy access and toilets for disabled people.

If you'd like more information or to contact the organisers of an activity (and their details are not included on this website), just get in touch with Stewart Morris in the church office who will be able to help. [Photo; entrance to halls].

If you would like to start an activity or interest group Stewart has the latest information on hall availability.
