Not So Grumpy Old Men
The Not So Grumpy Old Men Group was established in the summer of 2016. We currently have 30 members who meet once a month for an activity or visit which we organise on a rota basis. The group is at present full but we are holding a waiting list if you are interested.
Activities completed so far include visits to Nottingham Rugby Club and Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey. We have played footgolf, visited the Galleries of Justice and the Newark Civil War Museum. Future activities already planned include Pitch and Putt, Ten Pin Bowling and visits to The Southwell Workhouse, a local brewery and a Ghost Walk in Nottingham.
