All our talks begin promptly at 2.30pm except where shown. After the talk we hold a raffle, and then serve tea, coffee and biscuits. We'll usually finish by 4.00pm.

We also advertise them on posters in various locations. I sometimes leave some past talks on this page to give an idea of the sort of subjects we cover. |
