What are you doing for the rest of your life? After your own childhood and a working life comes your third age—the age of active retirement. This is a time for learning and sharing—why not join a community of people sharing knowledge.

This group would typically meet regularly for activities such as outings, guest speakers and much more. We are looking for interested people to help re-establish this group.
