Monthly Meetings Programme

A Monthly Meeting is held on the second Monday of the month (approximately every 4-5 weeks except August) in Lorton Street Methodist Church rooms at 2pm.

Limited parking is available at the venue. We aim for a variety of activities at the meetings, including visiting speakers and 'entertainment' organised by some of our groups. The list below details the current programme.

Free Tea or Coffee and biscuits follow the main part of the meeting.
