Welcome to LALG, with over 125 activities and events plus discounts in over 55 local shops and businesses. All for £14 or less per household! And during lockdown we are also offering FREE temporary online membership.
LALG groups cover everything from architecture to yoga, Shakespeare to computing and theatre trips to pub quizzes, so there should be something for everyone. And if there isn't, we can start a new group! See New Groups

Keep a watch on our calendar! Where it is safe to do so some of our groups are starting up again. Whilst others are still meeting online where social distancing makes social gathering impossible.
Do you have skills you could offer to support our new website - if so read on!
We are pleased and relieved to see our groups are starting to meet in person again. Some are mentioned in the July e-newsletter but others are restarting all the time. This is a list of those groups - it will be added to as plans progress so please keep checking here.
The Committee has issued the following information, which has been agreed with LALG’s insurers:
Dear LALG Members
In this message are dates for some upcoming events. Our monthly online talks have been a great success and we are now adding some more to the calendar. We are also trialling a Beetle Drive via Zoom! Although the lockdown is easing we realise that not everyone will be comfortable venturing out so we thought we'd try something else to keep ourselves occupied.
Dear LALG Members
This week is national Volunteers' Week and I couldn’t let it pass without saying a huge Thank You to everyone in LALG who has kept us going through these strange times.
Many of the businesses offering discounts to LALG members are now open for business subject to the Governments COVID-19 restrictions - click here for details. For details of discounts offered and contact details, see DISCOUNTS
A big thank you to Bruce Balden who spoke at our first online meeting on 13th May. About 60 households joined us on zoom to hear about Bruce’s experiences of being a participant in the Granada ‘World in Action’ series which tracks the lives of a group of children growing up in England from age 7 in 1964.
The results of the Annual Quiz are now available, plus questions and answers for those who missed it: click here for details.

Message updated: Wednesday 22 April 2020
As the lockdown continues I think we are all adapting to a different pace of life and finding innovative ways to keep in touch with friends and family. To relieve the boredom of another night in, nearly 200 people took part in the LALG quiz last Saturday. Hosted online by Ann and Andrew, participants answered questions on a raft of topics inspired by 18 April which included:
Important message from the Chair of LALG about the current virus emergency
As you know the situation regarding coronavirus is continually changing as the epidemic reaches into
the United Kingdom.
LALG is following the advice provided by Government and we will keep the website updated with any relevant news. You can find the government’s advice at www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response
LALG is closely monitoring and following the advice of the Government and advisory bodies relating to COVID-19 (coronavirus). In light of the most recent advice we have decided to cancel April's Members' Meeting and the Annual Quiz.
If any other LALG activities have to be cancelled we will let you know by posting a message on this website. Cancellations will also be notified by email to those members who have given us their details.
We know that LALG members will not attend activities or meetings if they are not feeling well.
