Our Programme (see below)
We arrange an event for each month, normally
on the second Thursday. Talks, open to visitors, alternate with
activities mainly for members. We try to arrange a variety of activities,
from walks and visits to presentations and workshops to cater for the wide
range of interests of our members. Additionally there are specialist groups
and projects which are outside of the scope of this programme.
