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.

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.
