SOUTH Gloucestershire Over 50s Forum is to hold its first ever conference.

The group has been campaigning on behalf of the over 50s for 25 years, and the event is part of its anniversary celebrations.

The conference, plus AGM, is set to take place at Filton Community Centre on May 18, from 10am to 4pm.

It will include a look back over the years at what the forum has achieved, and a look ahead too.

New management committee members will be elected, plus there will be a wide variety of stalls, workshops and speakers.

Community transport will be available to bring people to and from the event.
