Current Programme

We’re back!

We restarted our programme in March 2022.  Attendance was excellent and we will continue with our “home-grown” programme for the rest of the season.  As always, we are keen to deliver what our members are interested in, so feel free to make suggestions either in person or by putting a suggestion in the box!

  • Chaiman’s Introduction (10 mins)
  • Beginners’ Talk (20 mins)
  • Main Talk (40mins to 1 hour)
  • Tea, coffee, biscuits and chat
