In the Summer we usually have walks rather than talks.
Our talks are usually on the first Monday of each month from September to April at St Marks Church Hall for a 19.30 start.
The atmosphere at our talks is very informal with wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee available to buy from 19:00pm and everyone is welcome to come – both adults and children.
Our speakers are always happy to answer any questions the audience has – and there are usually very interesting discussions!
