Monthly Open Meetings
A resounding success!
Whilst pleased to have such large gatherings, we are concerned that our Open Meetings have outgrown Chequer Mead and we need to relocate for people's comfort and safety. Hiring the actual theatre is not financially viable, so with regret Chequer Mead have agreed they cannot accommodate such a large group. We're not leaving Chequer Mead entirely as the Committee hold their monthly meetings there as do at least one of our Interest groups.
Hub Meetings
To date, we have held Monthly Open Meetings and Members Only Meridian meetings. Whilst these have, over time, fulfilled their purpose, on review, the committee have decided to amalgamate them and have them all (with the obvious exception of the AGM) open to the public and call them Hub Meetings. The idea of a Hub is for it to be a ‘one stop shop’ where members can gather with one another, prospective members can be welcomed and the committee keep in touch with the membership. At the same time, it’ll be an opportunity for group leaders to ‘sell their wares’. We’ll still have a speaker but we’ll have a more open platform from which to operate.
Any queries please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Up coming meetings for 2022 see below
| Dates for your Diary | |
|---|---|
| Wed Jul 6th | Pub Lunch The Old Dunnings Mill - self book Whilst we don’t have formal meetings in July & August, we’re aware that members might still like to meet. We are therefore encouraging members to self-book into The Old Dunnings Mill on Wednesday 6 July for lunch – you decide when and with whom you’d like to meet. The pub have been advised of our suggestion, but we have not made a formal booking. Whilst they have plenty of availability at present, they are likely to get busy as the summer approaches, so you may wish to book sooner rather than later |
