This group is now accepting new members again.

Fellow Facilitators are: Anne Roberts-Fernandez,ย  Hilde Paxton, and Mandy Watts.

The aim of this group is to visit places of interest within a 70-mile radius of the Scottish Borders, usually by coach. Most places, even the most obscure, will come under the heading of Heritage. Also to meet up with old and new friends; so long as there is a coffee stop, we are happy.

If you are interested in joining this group, please email using the "Group email" link displayed above.
