About us
A group for building connections and community together through a variety of activities such as walking groups, card/board game evenings, after Parkrun breakfast, DIY projects of group members, and a variety of other sport and social gatherings.
The idea is to build an inclusive community to combat isolation and support each other in a wide variety of shared interests (excluding drinking/parties).
A no fee group, there is an optional place to donate towards yearly costs if so inclined.
Do note, there is a no-show policy in place whereby if you are marked as a no-show 3 times without further communicating with us, you will not be able to book on events until a discussion is held with an organiser.

After Walk - Sunday Lunch
The Yew Tree, Hollington Cross, Andover Road, Highclere, RG20 9SE, GBAn event for those attending the nature walk just before, as a way to assist with table and meal bookings.
Pre-ordering meals is required, and must be placed by minimum a week before the event.
Do note, if there is no space left you may wish to come along to see if there are any tables available. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee and these will be seperate to the group.
Come join us at the Yew Tree for an after walk meal. You can view the Sunday menu on the website
Look forward to seeing you there.
