Programme

Meetings are normally held in the Wynne Room at the Battle Memorial Hall, generally on the third Thursday of each month at 7.30 pm, but please check the programme as occasionally the venue and day may change.

Due to the increase in cases of COVID and concern about the Omicron variant, it has been decided that the talk on Thursday 16th December will be by Zoom only. The link will be circulated to members prior to the day. We hope to get back to live talks as soon as possible in the New Year.
