ACTIVITY TASTER SESSIONS            

 

Ashford Lounge runs every Wednesday 10:30 - 12:00 at the South

School on Jemmett Road. We run a series of activity taster     

sessions so you can see what sort of activities there are available

out there. If a taster session is popular we will then set up a     

regular weekly group for that activity, so even if you are not sure  

about something, come along to see if you like it. The current    

programme is opposite.
