About
Leavenheath Ladies Circle is a friendly, independent group for women of all ages who enjoy socialising, learning something new, and being part of the local community. We meet once a month on the second Tuesday 7.45 pm till 9.30pm, offering a relaxed and welcoming environment for members to connect and enjoy a varied programme of activities.
Our yearly programme includes guest speakers covering a wide range of interesting topics, as well as fun social evenings such as quizzes and craft sessions. We also celebrate the seasons together with a summer buffet and a festive Christmas gathering.
In addition to our monthly meetings, we occasionally organise theatre trips, walks, and meals out, giving members even more opportunities to spend time together and make new friendships.
New members are very welcome, and we are always pleased to see new faces join our friendly group.
Please contact our secretary, Lynne, for more details on 07879 735672.
