Events
We hold approximately twelve events throughout the year. During the winter months, we concentrate on talks given locally; during the summer, the emphasis is on outings to National Trust sites.
There is also an annual holiday which is typically 5 days in an all-inclusive hotel, plus we hold is a New Year lunch, plus coffee mornings, and walks.
