This is a group newly opened in the Spring of 2024, but already up to almost twenty members!
This is a self-help group and we learn about any topic of interest, with members taking it in turn to share their knowledge. Topics are therefore quite randomly selected, from any time and place, and we are finding this very enjoyable.
Recent discussions have included whether or not Richard 3rd was a good or bad king, and Christmas traditions.
