**NOTE – for 2nd September 2025 meeting only. We’ve been notified the usual car park may be undergoing resurfacing works. It is unclear if these works will be completed by the time of the meeting. Therefore, if the car park is unavailable, please park (respectfully) where you can on the surrounding side streets. Thanks for your patience with this. **
In addition to meeting in person, we will set up a zoom call for remote members to join and hear the speaker. Details of the zoom info will be sent our to members via the usual email channel.
If you’re not a member and are interested in joining, please come along. We kindly ask that after two “try out” member meetings, that you take out an annual membership, see membership page for details.
At meetings, we kindly ask Members for a £1 (cash) donation and non-members £3 (cash) on the door to cover refreshments and hall fees.
