Clubs, Societies and groups that offer environmental and outdoor activities. Physical activity outdoors lowers our blood pressure and heart rate, and leaving our homes to go into fresh air helps alleviate insomnia and improves the quality of our sleep! We also enjoy the benefits of sunshine which is invigorating, provides more energy for our minds and bodies, and gives us vitamin D to boost our immune systems. Shared social activities in the Winchcombe area include getting together to enjoy conservation & wildlife; gardening; walking and being enthralled by the night sky. If the activity you seek isn’t here, try looking under Physical Wellbeing & Sports.
Astronomy
U3A Astronomy We are a group of like-minded individuals who are fascinated by the night sky and want to learn more about those points of light and to find our way around the celestial skies. We are all beginners looking to learn from and encourage each other to discover more. You do not need any equipment or prior knowledge to enjoy the night sky, just a natural curiosity. We meet once a month at a dark site if the skies are clear, or at members’ homes where we might watch a Brian Cox DVD, astronomy programme or just have a discussion.
