Welcome to LALG, with over 100 groups and events plus discounts in around 50 local shops and businesses.
LALG groups cover everything from art to walking, Shakespeare to computing and languages to quizzes, so there should be something for everyone. And if there isn't, we can start a new group! Find a group now.
We are ready to set up more new LALG groups over the coming months - but we need members to tell us what ideas might work.
Please tick up to 10 ideas in our list or add your own suggestions. Survey closes on 31 March 2022
Meeting runs from 7:30pm to 9:00pm.
Meet at: The Brunt Room, Letchworth Settlement,
Nevells Road SG6 4UB
Our February gathering is for everyone - including residents,
architects, developers and builders who are keen to learn and share experiences on reducing domestic carbon footprints (and energy bills!).
Speakers at this meeting will explore how we can ventilate our homes to keep them healthy and warm - yet stopping the mould growth! Plus other effective ways of looking after our environment.
All welcome, admission £3 for LALG members, £4 for non-members.
Judy Garland, born Frances Ethel Gumm, was one of the greatest stars of the twentieth century. From her breakthrough role as Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ to her untimely death in London in 1969, she was rarely out of the news, out of the gossip columns or off the radio or TV. That her private life was far from happy is a matter of public record. In this talk, illustrated with many of her recordings, we will hear from Judy herself, in interview and in private.
The talk will start promptly at 7.30 with participants being allowed into the zoom room 10 minutes in advance. To give the best experience participants will be muted with cameras turned off during the talk.

Kristian Day took over the Broadway Gallery in Leys Avenue just before the art industry was devastated by the spread of Covid-19, meaning his plans for the space and the Arts in Hertfordshire ended before they could begin. Over the last two years however the gallery has gone from imminent closure to the centre of a thriving art scene with an ambitious vision for the future.
In 2022 LALG celebrates its 35th Anniversary and to kick off the Celebrations there will be a talk by William and Elaine about how it got started.
Our Walking Groups have planned some additional walks after the festive season to tempt us outside. Use the links to see what is on offer.
