Meetings & Events
Please aim to arrive by 1.45pm at the latest to allow sufficient time for your registration, to see any of the Interest Group Contacts such as Gadabouts and Luncheon Group and then to take your seat before 1.55pm so that the meeting can start promptly at 2.00p.m when the door is locked.
We always have an interesting guest speaker so please join us for an enjoyable afternoon with refreshments.
Visitors are always welcome.
