We run monthly Open Meetings, which are free and open to all members and their friends. These meetings feature guest speakers or visits to places of interest. After the talk, there's always time for a coffee and a friendly chat. Open Meetings offer a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and explore new ideas and find out about other groups that we run.
