Term Times

We have Autumn and Spring terms of 12 weeks running from September to December and January to March inclusive. The 2026 Spring Term starts on 5th January for Week 1 and 12th January for Week 2.

Most groups meet fortnightly during these two terms, but a few meet weekly or monthly. Groups meeting fortnightly are allocated to Week 1 and Week 2 which alternate during the term.

The week number, 1 or 2, is shown after the day. Monthly groups have M after the day. No number or letter means the group meets weekly.

Some groups also meet after Easter, depending on the leader and group members' wishes. A small number of groups continue to meet all year round.

  • Groups meeting only in the two main terms are shown with 2 in the Terms column of the table.
  • Those groups which might meet after Easter, they are shown with 3. Always check with the Group Leader.
  • Groups meeting all year round have Cont in the column.

Morning sessions generally run from 10am to 12pm or 10.30 to 12.30, and afternoon sessions from 2pm to 4pm. Please check individual group pages for precise times and venue.

Charges

Most groups normally charge to participate with either a termly or a weekly charge. However, the Committee has instigated a group fee "holiday" until September, details of which are at this link. Group participation is therefore currently free.
