Events
Our monthly meetings are usually held at Runnymede Hall, Kiln Road, Thundersley and take place every 2nd Wednesday of the month. For all monthly meetings doors open at approximately 1.10pm for a 1.30pm start. May & June 2024 - meeting will be held at Richmond Hall, Richmond Avenue, Benfleet, SS7 5HA
At most meetings we have a speaker either from outside or one of our members will stand up and talk on anything which we feel will assist others to broaden their outlook and further their education.
