What we do..

In addition to our regular get togethers 'Noggins' we also try to include at least one main event during the weekend and another during the week per month during the season (from April to November) together with a less formal 'Brunch Run'. 

We also have informal 'Just Turn Up' events that we publicise at short notice via our WhatsApp group.
  • The 'Main Event' can take the form of a meet up at a venue or may involve a drive between venues (MSA Permits permitting)
  • 'Invites' usually invitations from neighbouring Centres or other Clubs or Events.
  • 'Brunch Run' tends to be a meet up for coffee or breakfast and the choice is to return home or to continue on to places of local interest.
  • 'Noggins' form an important part of the social calendar and held every month on the first Tuesday.
  • ' M3A' (Morganeers of the Third Age!) - Mid week events for those lucky enough to have the time to attend
