DIRECTORY of SNAPE VILLAGE & LOCAL GROUPS, etc. AND THEIR FIRST CONTACTS
This page is deliberately in summary form, as a quick 'go-to' location for key contact information. | |||||||
So typically, no more than two of their contacts appear here, maybe their Leader/Organiser and their Secretary (or equivalents). | |||||||
However, if there are more than two or three related lines, they're highlighted within a coloured block for clarity. | |||||||
Where an organisation's name below appears as a blue link, that leads to any page or website they have, for more information. | |||||||
All regular events take place at Snape Village Hall, unless stated or implied otherwise. | |||||||
