We usually trial up to a dozen new groups each month. After a pause during lockdown we are starting to revive some of our new group ideas - see the Group Events panel on the righthand side for event details.
Suggestions for new groups are always welcome, especially if you can volunteer to lead the group. Please contact:
William Armitage 01462 643537 or newgroups@lalg.org.uk, or leave your name and contact details at David's Bookshop, Eastcheap, Letchworth.

The group will be finding out the principles of cooking around the world, culinary lore and scientific explanations. The group could investigate nutrition, bread, grain, milk, dairy, meat, fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, drinks, food additives and more.
We may plan visits, invite specialist speakers and members may do their own research. Six names will ensure we can make a start.

Meeting Tuesday 22 June, 10.30am at Vutie Beets, The Wynd, Letchworth
At this first meeting we will discuss future plans, for example, the geography and geology of Scotland, the history of Scottish people, emigration and the best places to visit, or whatever we like.
We will be visiting Cambridge once a month to see the history and life of the city.
If you would like to be on our list for future capers, or you are prepared to lead a visit to somewhere in Cambridge, we would love to hear from you.

The dramatic decline of car and aircraft noise in the last four months has made many of us rethink the way we manage the countryside. This group could discuss rewilding, how to feed us, the decline of nature and the pressure to build new houses. We may also visit places of interest such as farms.
Our first meeting was on 14 April, if you would like to know what happened please contact: William Armitage, 01462 643537, armitagewilliam@hotmail.co.uk.
We have enough members interested to start this group.
Realistically June / July will be the earliest we will be able to meet and play indoors. In the next couple of months Steve will contact all those that have expressed an interest with suggestions of dates/times/venues. If any other members are interested please contact:

We are hoping that the weather will be good enough for us to sit in the garden where there are plenty of socially distanced tables. Otherwise, groups of six will be able to eat inside. To whet your appetite, see the menu on the pub’s website at: www.thethreehorseshoesatnorton.co.uk
This group is hoping to meet on Wednesday mornings once social distancing rules allow.
Suitable for beginners and people who haven’t played since school.
