Started in the 1970s, meets in Southsea at one of the RV's houses. Very informal with wine and nibbles, the plan is to alternate formal type meetings with social events. Covers the area from Portsmouth, Chichester to Bognor. Nearest other local groups are Brighton to the east and Fareham and Gosport, Southampton to the west. We share our minutes with these groups. Our aims are to support RVs and outgoing volunteers, raise awareness and raise some funds. Past events have included a very successful Carribean evening of dancing, games, food and slide show and fundraising in aid of a Kilimanjaro trek for VSO.
