Monday 11:30 KA1Have Your Say Jennie ClarkeThis lively group has been successful for many years. The members, seated in a circle, discuss a wide range ofsubjects that surround our every-day lives. Sometimes controversial, the rules are fixed, with each memberaware that arguing will not be tolerated.
