Programme

The Society usually runs an annual programme of six talks on the second Thursdays of alternate months, plus the AGM. These were normally held at the Yew Tree Hall in High Lorton. Up to January 2022 our talks have streamed by Zoom only, but we hope to restore meetings when possible. Talks at meetings will also be streamed using Zoom.
