Talks Programme for 2012

Our monthly meetings usually take the form of a talk lasting approx. an hour followed by tea & coffee, then the slightly more formal business of the group, quizzes and other activities.  They start at 7pm and finish about 9pm.

(Please Note we are still adding speakers to the programme of talks for 2012)
