Social Activities
The talks for our monthly meetings start at 10.30am but did you know you can arrive from 10am to have a chat with other members over a cuppa and a biscuit? To make the meetings more sociable, we have altered the seating from standard 'theatre style' to a more convivial 'cabaret or café style' layout. Let us know what you think!
