The 3rd Monday of each month
We run monthly bus outings to surrounding areas of interest, offering our community members a chance to explore and enjoy new experiences together. Each trip is carefully planned to enrich, entertain, and educate, taking you to places steeped in local history, natural beauty, or cultural significance.
