St Mark’s Afternoon Retirement Team
|
 SMART meets on the first Thursday of each month between 2.00-4.00pm in St. Mark’s Church Hall (except for those marked*). We welcome everyone of retirement age who lives locally and enjoys meeting others. There is an interesting and varied programme, stimulating discussion and lively conversations with refreshments provided at each meeting.
SMART is run by Sarah Cousins (pictured) and Louise Wallis and they are always happy to welcome new members and arrange lifts to the meetings and help. Please feel free to bring a friend to any of the meetings.
For more information about any of the events, please contact the Church office in the first instance.
