Book Group: Currently held on-line
The Bookgroup meets once a month We choose two books every month and although everyone is encouraged to read one or both of them there is no pressure on anyone and it is as important to come and share in chat as it is to discuss the books.
Our chats range over a variety of topics before we then tackle the books and give them our rating out of 5. Check out the Blog for monthly reports of Book Group meetings.
Anyone is welcome to join us. For more info speak to Shona or email the Church office.

Men’s Group: Currently held on-line
The Hilton Church Men’s Group is an informal network of men (of all ages)in the Church.
During the coronavirus restrictions, we are meeting fortnightly on Zoom. If you’d like to join us, please speak to Graham Neville or email the church office.
The group has email and WhatsApp groups to keep in touch with each other and plan gatherings.
In non-COID times, we get together to spend time with each other on a very informal basis. We meet every couple of months or so for a meal and a drink, or another social purpose such as to play games, go to the cinema, go bowling or anything else that folk suggest. We sometimes help out each other or others in the church if there are big jobs that require many hands!
Repair Cafe
Please note that meeting of the Craft and Repair Group have been cancelled until further notice because of the Coronavirus epidemic. However members of the group share their latest work and other news on Whatsapp (and photos of their work regularly appear on the Chuch Blog.) It you’d like to join the Whatsapp group, please speak to Shona MacPherson or email the church office for details.
Below are some photos of us meeting in pre-COVID days, This is what we did then:
