Latest news on social media
Practices:
We restarted practices in October 2021- every Monday evening 8.00-9.30pm in St John's Church, Spring Grove, Kingston-on-Thames. We welcome new members at any time, but if possible please get in touch beforehand, as finding the correct entrance to the church can be very confusing!
