Set up over twenty years ago, the Network’s original objective was to create opportunities for older people to lead more active, stimulating and rewarding lives-and it has certainly succeeded in this. Today,more than sixty Groups are affiliated to it, spread throughout Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray,with a membership of over a thousand. 

and is open to all 50+ Groups and Organizations in the North East on payment of a small fee.

 

Run by a committee of Volunteers, the Network is a registered Scottish Charity which promotes good links between groups and sharing ideas and experiences for the benefit of its members.


The aims of the Network are : 
  • to develop educational and recreational opportunities
  • to organise themed events
  • to provide training

AFTERNOON TEAS

Afternoon teas were held in all areas and were well attended.  Such was the demand that we put on two extra teas.

At each event a Countryside Ranger gave a presentation.

One presentation is on You Tube and is called :  "The Wild North East - Scotland's Natural Gem"

and is well worth watching.

The RSPB gave an excellent presentation on "Fins and Feathers" at the Aberdeen City Afternoon Tea.




 You can find Photos of our activities in our Photo Gallery under the NEWS item on the menu bar.
