Monthly Meetings

The list below details the current speakers programme, and location of the meeting, these meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month (except August). In September each year we host an open meeting where many of our groups display examples of their work, and at our other meetings we host external speakers who provide talks on all manner of interesting subjects. Attendees can also find information on new activities, current activity groups with vacancies, and book places on a theatre trips or other ‘one off’ events. It is also possible to add ideas for new activities on our suggestions board and meet fellow members, group leaders and Trustee Board members. We look forward to meeting you.
