Achievements
We've held several traffic open forums which influenced a change of bus timetable to enable Gold Card holders to travel nearer the 9:30am deadline for free travel.
We helped start the Ashbourne and District University of the Third Age. The U3A has many different groups set up covering a variety of subjects and interests.
During 2022 the forum was heavily involved in the setting up of the 'Tea, Talk N Tech' Digital Café, which offers free and friendly help to improve digital skills and get people connected.
Sessions are held at the new Ashbourne Sports and Community Pavilion, at Ashbourne Recreation Ground, Cokayne Avenue, DE6 1ER on Thursdays from 11am to 1pm. For more information contact Connex, telephone: 01335 818283.
