2021 Meetings and visits
Due to coronavirus restrictions we do not know when we will be able to have meetings in the village hall again, or organise outings, so the schedule will be developed as we go along.
Items are marked as either QM (Quarterly Meeting) or Outing.
All Quarterly Meetings are held in the Village Hall, or via Zoom if necessary, starting at 7.30 pm. In addition to the guest speaker, and when time permits, we aim to inform members about the Society's other activities, which may include displays or short presentations etc. Refreshments are also provided. Meetings are free for members, £2 for non-members
Places on Outings need to be booked and car sharing is arranged. Non-members are welcome to join us at a nominal charge. Dates and times are subject to change, sometimes at short notice. Admission charges may apply.
