Belgravians and Gaudeamus are both social groups.
The Belgravians took their name from the Square on which the Church was built. (At one time, there were houses virtually ringing the Church in what was Belgrave Square.)
Any member of the congregation can attend the Belgravians. The numbers of people who come to meetings are between 24 and 48. If you go regularly, you may be asked to pay a subscription of £1.00 per year. The group usually meets at Church on the 13th of every month. Sometimes the day can change if it clashes with another event, and sometimes the group meets elsewhere for a specific activity, e.g. bowling, barbecue, country walks, canal trips, cheese and wine, etc.
They eat a lot (or rather at all meetings!). Sometimes this is just biscuits and coffee, sometimes a full blown meal.
Gaudeamus has recently been re-formed after being in abeyance for fifteen or so years.
The group was originally established for those young people who were moving on from membership of the church Youth Group and it is still intended to cater for the interests of our younger adult members.
Recent activities have included a guided walk around Nottingham and a visit to the National Space Centre in Leicester and, just like the Belgravians, any member of the congregation is welcome to attend. Friends are also welcome.
