About: We were formed in 1927 and our members are a lively, friendly and active group who enjoy outings. We have adopted a stretch of Silloth West Beach and The Beach Gang clean it regularly. We also carry out surveys for Marine Conservation Trust. Our Garden Gang maintain the garden in front of the Discovery Centre in Silloth. Our Christmas Lunch Party was held at White Heather Hotel, Kirkbride this year. In 2010 a Book Reading Group was formed. The first book was Alan Bennet’s An Uncommon Reader. The Book Club meet monthly. Each Month we have 2 competitions, and a Single Flower competition.
