Monthly Meetings

Monthly meetings are held at Christ ChurchNeighbourhood Centre on a Thursday evening starting at 7.30 p.m. Note that the dates are  variable, i.e. not the same week of the month. We meet from September to June, and have a 2 month break in July and August.

Christ Church has the postal code BL0 0PX and is on Great Eaves Road. There is a car park at the back of the church.

There is a guest speaker and non-members are very welcome.

There is a charge of £2 for visitors and £1.50 for members, which includes refreshments.

The normal format is the leader welcomes the meeting with any news and outstanding business. There is then either part one of the talk, followed by a refreshment break, and then part two, or a refreshment break and then the main speaker if the talk cannot be split. The meeting usually finishes between 9 p.m. and 9.30 pm.
