Our Interests
It's amazing. Dry Drayton Folks are involved in an unbelievable range of hobbies, interests and activities.
Have you an interest (possibly something on the list below) you would be willing to share with others, perhaps helping someone else to make a start in the same field, or meeting kindred spirits in the village? If so, please e-mail webmaster@drydrayton.net with your contact details and an idea of your interests. We won't publicise your contact details here, but will forward to you any requests to make contact which we receive from anyone else in the village - it is then up to you how you take that contact forward.
If you are interested in contacting others with a particular interest in the village, then take a look at the list below. We have contacts already in the subjects shown in red and can pass your details on to someone else in the village with this interest. E-mail webmaster@drydrayton.net to ask to be put in touch with a local person with this interest.
Incidentally, if you are interested in making more of your leisure time, take a look at Bill Martin and Sandra Mason's site called Leisure Vision - which will open your eyes to hundreds of interesting activities, with lots of information on each.
This is a first stab at a list of possible interest areas. There may be many more. Where the interest has the word (Yes) beside it, we have a volunteer village contact. and can put you in touch. See also the link for village organisations for contacts in those organisations already in existance in the village
