They (along with all Norfolk WIs) belong to Norfolk Federation who organise many activities and events throughout the County and further afield – 2024 includes gliding days at Tibenham airfield, visits to Hampton Court Palace and Cambridge Botanical Gardens (both by coach), Tubing at Norwich Snow Sports Club, an edible hanging basket workshop, and various craft workshops.
