Monthly Meetings and Events

Our monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month (2:00 pm for 2:15 pm start) at Central Church, Tor Hill Road, Torquay, TQ2 5RN. In August and December we have a social event rather than the monthly meeting. Monthly meetings are opportunity to check for the latest news on the noticeboards and to meet other members including group leaders. Refreshments are provided. Many thanks to non committee members who provide assistance at our monthly meetings
