For our first meeting I have arranged a meet-up at Redcliffe Garden Centre, Bashley Road, Bashley, BH25 5RY, on Thursday 7 May 2026 at 2.00 p.m. The centre has lovely tea rooms for a drink and cakes and an emporium at the back full of stalls selling a huge variety of different goods and antiques. After the meet-up there will be an opportunity to go and feed donkeys in Everton. The meet is also advertised on the WhatsApp social group.

Please let me know if you'll be there - Helen - [socialsnframblers@gmail.com](mailto:socialsnframblers@gmail.com)
