Wine

The Society was formed in 1978 by a group of home wine and beer enthusiast members.

Times change, and with the advent of cheap good quality supermarket wines the number of wine makers has now considerably reduced.

The Society has developed more into a wine and food appreciation Society and holds popular wine tastings at regular intervals plus talks on food, along with a wide range of topics of general interest. Annual party nights, when we have dinner, plus entertainment and our Vice President's evening when strawberries and cream with wine are served, also accompanied by entertainment are very popular.

Meetings are held usually on one Friday evening per month between September and June.
