We meet from 1.00pm -  4.00pm on  Tuesday afternoons in the Community Centre on Gilesgate, Hexham. We have a mixture of open sessions (where members follow their own interests) and tutored sessions some of which are lead by external tutors, some by our own members.  In summer  we  arrange a number of outdoor meetings both in Hexham and further afield.
