Socials and Weekends Away (Click here for socials archive)
As the weekends away and meals out are always oversubscribed and tend to fill up almost as soon as they hit the website, we have to restrict them to current members of SWG40s. However, everyone is welcome on a pub night out, especially if you are new to the group or you are thinking about joining us.
Before booking onto a weekend, please read the weekends away booking information on the FAQ Page.
