We were a group of around 20 single, widowed and divorced people who emailed each other when we were planning a social event.  This quickly grew when friends, and friends of friends, heard what we were doing and asked to join in. Within a few months 20 turned into nearly 100 and the poor person responsible for emailing became overwhelmed.

A decision was made to form a club; Just Good Friends (JGF) was born and is now run by a committee.

 

Our membership is increasing every month and our programme of events gets bigger and more diverse all the time. In the first half of 2024 we have more than 240 members.

 

We publish a monthly programme and email weekly updates.  Events on the programme are either arranged by the committee or 'hosted' by members.

 

Our aim is not to make a profit; any excess being used to subsidise future events.

 

JGF is truly a club run for its members, by its members and could not survive without the active participation of everyone.

 

Events featuring either regularly or occasionally on the programme include: Concerts, theatre, holidays, talks, quiz nights, bridge, dancing, bowling, table tennis, cinema, games evening, party nights, day trips, reading groups, fine dining, pub meals, walks and more......
