About Us
LUNCH CLUB NEEDS YOU ! Would you like to be part of a friendly team cooking for Wrington Lunch Club once a month? We cook simple family style meals for about 25 people and our efforts are much appreciated by our customers. However, we need more volunteers for this very rewarding activity. Advice on cooking for larger numbers will be given. If you or anyone you know would like to join us please contact Chris Rees (862745) or Sue Evans (862742)

Wrington Local History Society was formed in 2011 and since then we have presented over 120 talks. The talks cover a wide variety of subjects and areas including Wrington, Somerset and Bristol and maybe further afield. We also arrange a number of visits to locations with a historical interest.
Our programme for 2023 is shown below and a list of our previous talks can be found by clicking the link below
