Weds 24 Feb AGM. Venue to be advised

General information
- Some events are free, for others there is a modest charge.
- Events are open to non-members as well as members.
- Booking is normally through the emails we send out about a month before.
- Booking is essential for Zoom talks and visits/walks where numbers are limited.
- For non-Zoom speaker meetings, you can just turn up on the night, but it is easier for all concerned if you book.
