From 1 December, the closed North Gosport Group has merged with the East Solent Group, following discussions over the past year. This ensures that members who were in the North Gosport Group are not left without the opportunity to meet other members at meetings, and join in the local CSPA activities.
There will be no changes as a result of this to the monthly meetings of the East Solent Group; they will continue as usual., and hope to welcome the members of Gosport North to future meetings. The merged group now has 461 members.

The East Solent Group meet on the second Wednesday of each month between 10.00 am and 12.00 noon. The meetings are held at: St Faith’s Parish Centre,  Bulson Hall, Victoria Square, Lee on the Solent PO13 9NF

Each meeting starts with a brief report from the Officers. We then take a tea/coffee break followed by a draw for the raffle, tickets of which can be purchased as you enter the meeting. The meeting concludes with a presentation from our speaker.
