COST: The Playgroup is a non-profit making event and cost is based on the number of attendees. For 2026 the Absolute Beginners had a fixed cost of £15, Beginners a fixed cost of £25, and a fixed cost of £65 for Improvers and Advanced (all payable in advance). Our aim has always been the encouragement of new players, hence the low fee for those levels. The fees for 2027 will be set as soon as expenses estimates have been confirmed
