We have two main types of meetings –
-
'Speaker' evenings, where a guest speaker will entertain, educate and inspire us with a talk or demonstration, or tell us about the work of their organisation and
-
‘Activity' evenings, where members will share their skills and knowledge and we all have a go at something new.
All meetings are free to members. Visitors are always very welcome but please try to let us know if you plan to visit us. Your first two visits are free, but we may ask for a small contribution to the cost of consumables on activity nights.
We also have a series of interest groups for members to join.
​
The topics of meetings below may change if speakers or activities become unavailable at short notice. Alternative arrangements will be made in place of the advertised topics.
