In response to requests from our membership, we aim to establish Local QUG Groups throughout the UK. At present we have just one active Local Group - the one in Leicester. In order to establish further groups QUG Committee members are acting as Local Contacts. Their names and contact addresses (whether postal, e-mail and/or telephone) are listed below. The purpose of Local Groups is to arrange meetings for fellowship and/or discussion of universalist topics. If you are interested in joining or helping to form a Local Group in your area, please contact one of the people listed below, preferable the one living closest to you. If none lives close to you, but you are interested in becoming a Local Contact for the purpose of setting up a group, please contact our web co-ordinator Bill Walley.
