Monthly meetings

We have had some fascinating speakers over the years, both from our own membership and from outside, and continue to plan an interesting programme.

Have you got an interesting story to tell? Or do you know of a speaker that the members would enjoy hearing? If you do, our Talks Secretary would love to hear from you.

Open meetings are usually held on the last Friday of most months. All of the meetings take place in the Main Hall, County Buildings, Wigtown.
Members, free; visitors, £3.

From 2023, we are starting a little later with refreshments from 10:30 and the talk starting at 11:00.

Covid-19

Although all covid rules and regulations have been lifted in Scotland, covid has not gone away. Please continue to protect yourself and others using "covid sense" - see the current advice from the Scottish Government.

In general:

Please do not attend if you have any symptoms of covid or have had a positive covid test result within the past 10 days.

Not able to get out?

We have included the online talks provided by Online Across Scotland (OAS). They take place on the first Thursday of the month at 4:00pm. See the programme of talks on the OAS website for more details.
