Session Arrangement

The sessions follow the pattern below. Along the top are the groups and down the side are the weeks in each month. A spare week is the week left over when there are five Thursdays or Sundays in the month. Where there are two sessions separated by a / it means the session type alternates between the two. e.g. The '1st' week for the 'Central Bristol' group = The 1st Thursday of the month and because they alternate, if it was Goal Setting this month then it would be a New Member's session next month or vise-versa.

Week Central Bristol (Thursday) North Bristol (Sunday) Women Only (Saturday)
1st Goal Setting / New Member's New Member's / Topic No Session
2nd Games / Public Speaking Question and Answer / Games No Session
3rd Topic Goal Setting / Topic No Session
Spare Various Various No Session
