  • Easy Walkers

    If you enjoy walking but are no longer able to cover long distances or meet the challenge of mountain climbs, the Easy Walking group might be ideal for you.  Most walks are 1 - 4 miles, occasionally further, usually along flat, well-laid tracks such as cycle paths, towpaths, pavements etc both within and beyond the… Read more

  • Fun with Words

    This group was formed to use fun and games to keep our brains active. We don’t need degrees, just the urge to test our memories and knowledge with various games.

A simple offering for Tuesday, 31st March to keep us ticking over.  I'm suggesting we take the train from Bridgend to Neath (going by bus is horrendous), and once we get there people… Read more

The group has some experienced puzzlers and also complete newbies, who had often said 'I can't solve cryptic crosswords. I don't know where to start and don't understand… Read more
