Following the success in 2023 we, the Friends of Combe Valley are continuing to encourage members and friends of Combe Valley to come together on a monthly basis for a social natter night.
We plan to keep it informal over a hot or cold drink, a biscuit or two and maybe even a slice of cake.
The idea is to have board games and cards available for group play. Also the opportunity to learn new card games like bridge or cribbage. Have an unfinished craft that you would like to finish or need some help then bring it along and we will try to assist.
Aimed at singles, couples or mixed groups. Bring a friend or two.
