Socials

Our socials programme includes a range of events, from pub nights, group outings to festivals and exhibitions, and our annual BBQ and Barn Dance. And if you'd like to venture a little farther afield, we also organise walking weekends.

To enjoy our socials and holidays you need to be a member of SURG, but you can get a taste of our social life by joining us for a drink at one of our regular Open Pub Nights. They're very informal, and a great chance to meet members of the group and find out more about us.
