We meet at Bamber Bridge Methodist Church<\/a> on Wednesdays –<\/h2>\n

the first and third of most months at 7.30pm. The first meeting is our Business Meeting and the third is a social event – generally a speaker but sometimes it can be just a get together to catch up with each other or a chance to do some of our project work.<\/h4>\n

We’ve just booked our speakers and organised the programme for 2026 – 2027 and it’s going to be brilliant.<\/p>\n

April 15th – Maureen McFarlane is coming to tell us about the trials and tribulations and, no doubt, good points too, about life as a JP.<\/p>\n

May 20th – our very own member, Maureen Connell, is going to tell us about her life as a nurse.\u00a0 Whilst that sounds pretty normal – Maureen spent her working life overseas in countries such as Rwanda where she had experiences that don’t happen in Preston Royal!<\/p>\n

June 17th – we are going to have a fundraising event (charity tb decided) at Bamber Bridge Methodist Church.\u00a0 This event will involve food, fun, a raffle and helping …………..<\/p>\n

September 19th – Brian Topping is making a return journey to tell us about his life as a customs officer. He came in 2025 and gave us a really excellent talk so he’s now on to Part 2 with ‘A World of Mules and Minders.<\/p>\n

October\u00a0 21st – Tender Nursing Care – based in Bamber Bridge and who do a sensational job are coming to talk about the charity.<\/p>\n

November 18th – will be our annual Christmas bag packing evening.\u00a0 The festive period starts now.<\/p>\n

February 17th will be a Tropic Party.\u00a0 Friends, family and neighbours will be invited to come and be pampered.<\/p>\n

And in between all of this we have a summer social, a Christmas get together and various outings when the mood takes us.<\/p>\n

Everyone is welcome.\u00a0 Please come and join us.<\/p>\n
