This gives us the opportunity to hear about other people's experiences, hobbies and interests on a wide range of topics. For three meetings during the year there are different activities, a quiz in August and social events in April and December. Any ideas for meeting activities are welcome. At about 10:45 a.m. the Chair will make announcements and introduce the invited speaker, who will finish the presentation at noon.
In 2024 our speakers included historians, journalists, a prison governor, Scene of Crime Investigator and a Pets As Therapy trainer and handler.
