OWLS (older, wiser, livelier seniors) is a club for anyone aged 60 or over. We meet on a monthly basis for a social time together, either in the church hall or occasionally out and about in the locality. As well as a cuppa and the chance of a chat, we have a varied programme of additional items of interest.

Transport can be provided for events away from church premises – or, indeed, if you need help to get to the church hall.

All 60+ers are welcome, whether connected to the church or not. If you are on your own, come and make some new friends!

Our monthly meetings take place in the SBC church hall on Thursday afternoon unless otherwise indicated.

OWLS meetings take place from 2:30 to 4pm unless indicated otherwise (below).
