Programme 2020 - 2021 : subject to any changes needed due to the coronavirus pandemic
Our 2020-2021 season starts in September 2020. Due to the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 restrictions we have restructured our meetings until at least the end of 2020 to be online "virtual" events..
Please "Contact Us" if you are interested in joining us and would like an access code for our online Zoom meetings.
We will review the postion for the 2021 meetings, but at present they are still shown below as if physical meetings will be possible, something we will not know until closer to the time. If you are interested in joining us, do Contact Us because there are no physical meetings to attend right now.
