Social WhatsApp Group
For previous outings we set up a WhatsApp group so everyone could get information about the day. Several people thought this was a good idea, so we’d like to keep the group going for all events. We thought people could use it to put on suggestions as to outings or meet ups they would like to do. An example could be - I’ve seen this new coffee shop and fancy visiting on xx at xx . Does anyone want to join me? It could be that you’ve spotted a am dram play and want to go. People can respond and you can link up. If you would like to join our Social WhatsApp group, please sign up at the Outings Table.
Please keep an eye on the Social WhatsApp group for any impromptu suggestions for outings. Details of the August coffee morning will be posted on the chat.
