What we’re about

I have decided to set up this group for any one who is aged 60 or over and of Caribbean descent., having said that if you are not quite 60 but would still like to join, you can apply.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE A FACE PICTURE OF YOURSELF WHEN APPLYING TO JOIN THIS GROUP. APPLICATIONS WITHOUT, WILL BE DECLINED
There are hundreds of interesting Meet Up groups but a large number seem to be aimed at people in the younger age brackets and so by starting this group I hope to meet people in my age range ; who have similar interests to myself.
So, if you want to get out of the house, go places, such as days trips by coach, or train , weekend breaks or even holidays abroad then this is the group for you; I'm hoping our visits will include trips to the theatre, cinema, eating out, visits to museums, exhibitions etc.
I would also very much welcome suggestions so please contact me with your ideas for places to go, things to do.
