Welcome to Activities

There is something for everyone in the AWBS! In addition to our General Meetings and social events,  AWBS members have access to a wide variety of activities together.  Activity groups are established and organised by volunteer members who are interested in pursuing their personal interests and hobbies with other AWBS members. You have the option of becoming an Activity Leader too if there is a suggestion you might like to put forward.  Joining an activity is a fast, fun, and easy way to meet new people and develop a sense of belonging in your community.  Activities run from September to June and we are always looking for fun, interesting new activities to add to our offering!

Here are some of our popular activities and groups, please follow the link to the activities page for more information and upcoming dates.

BOOK CLUB: Book Club meets once a month. The only requirement is a love of books and a commitment to read the book being discussed. There is no charge and no full year commitment. Book Club takes place during the day around lunch time.

BRIDGE: Learn to play bridge in a non-threatening fun setting with other AWBS members.

MAHJONG: Mahjong is easily learned yet can be difficult to master! We play every week in the home of one of our members.

COUNTRY WALKS: We are just steps away from some of the most stunning scenery in the United Kingdom with miles of paths, criss–crossing the landscape, making all areas of this charming country accessible. Walks vary from 3 to 6 miles and are typically once a month, September through May.

GLORIOUS TOWNS, HOUSES AND  GARDENS

Join us as we discover local unique treasures hidden in our towns, historic houses, hotels and gardens.

Informative and educational walking tours led by a tour guide followed by lunch once a month in different London neighborhoods. Sometimes the focus will be a geographic location, other times, a particular subject matter within London.
