The group meets at the A, B and D Centre in Burnley Road, Bacup, every Thursday at 7.30pm and has 44 members.

It broke away from the townswomen's guild 20 years' ago and holds social studies, guild meetings, art and craft and international evenings and when there are five Thursdays in a month it holds a film show.
