First Internet Branch - contact Sylvia Hickey
For 2023 the First Internet branch will now meet on-line the last Tuesday of the month
The First Internet Branch is so named because it is the first M.U. on-line branch. We opened on Zoom in November 2020 with the official “Opening a Branch” service led by our Diocesan President who enrolled the members. There are, as then, 12 of us. We are a discussion/project based branch presently working on a grant funded project with a local Domestic Abuse Refuge. We meet monthly on line but twice a year we meet in person for a social meal out together. Half our members are working mums and as of May 1st 2023 the average age of our branch members was 62.

Second Internet Branch- contact Alison Ball
The Second Internet Branch has started which is made up, at the moment, of people who are attached to a local MU branch, but who can't attend the meetings. We have only met a few times in the evening but have chatted about MU generally and what we want the group to do. Margy has talked about her work and Anne Marr has also shared with us. We are still getting to know each other and to decide what we want to discuss in our meetings.
At the moment we are being flexible about which evening we meet to accommodate everyone, but will probably fix the day in the month once we get more members. Meeting online will hopefully become a growing need as those who cannot attend a daytime meeting can get together
