The Welcome Table
Do you sometimes feel a bit of an ‘outsider’ at Group nights? Especially if there’s no-one you recognise when you get there. Whether you are a newcomer or you’ve been a member for years; join us at the Welcome Table - it’s at the back of the room with a red table cloth. Come and say hi and stay for a chat, you’ll be certain to find a warm welcome!
