Wine Appreciation Group (WAGS)

These extremely popular meetings are held on an irregular basis about three times a year. Members take it in turn to organise the format, which may be a talk from an expert on wine or a DIY evening. Whatever, wine of varying types is consumed and commented upon. Cost at each meeting varies, but is usually about £6 per person. None of us are experts but we all enjoy wine.
