Hot Topics

What it is: A lively discussion group in an informal atmosphere

When it is: The first Friday of each month at 2pm

Where it is: On Zoom

We currently have 13 members, but we’ve got space for more as not everyone attends every session. Our discussions tend to focus on big political issues that are controversial by nature. Each meeting ends with members agreeing the topic for the following month's discussion.

Questions to consider plus suggested reading material is sent out about two weeks in advance. All members are encouraged to contribute to this process.
