We meet on the second Thursday of the month at 7.45pm in St.John’s Hall, St. John’s Road, Stansted. Currently we have over 50 members and have welcomed several new ones during the last year. We find that we are attracting those women who have recently retired from work and are looking for companionship. We try to have a class every year, and have recently done Watercolour classes, flower arranging and line-dancing which some members have continued since at a local group. We arrange 2 or 3 theatre trips to London each year and are looking forward to seeing ‘Calendar Girls’ in April. We also do a shopping trip in November usually to Norwich as well as taking part in County organised trips.

We take part in various village events and are well known for our cakes and catering. For fund –rising we have recently organised a ‘flog-it’ evening which was well supported and are planning a quiz evening in April and a flower demonstration and tea in October.

We offer a speaker at every meeting and sometimes arrange social times in which members take part. Future speakers include: - Keith Baldwin – ‘All the Queen’s Horses and All the Queen’s Men (and women), Michael Rowley - The work of the Essex Wildlife Trust and Sue Sincock ‘City of London’.
