District Calendar should really be on the W&P Isle of Wight web pages but it is poorly maintained. In the meantime here is my unofficial list

All welcome at the practices.  You should book on the training afternoons, and for these there may be
a fee of a few pounds to cover tower donation, refreshments and any course materials
