Club meetings are on Thursday evenings unless otherwise specified.

The majority of our speakers will be travelling to West Charleton Village Hall to give their talks to us face-to-face (F2F), while others will be delivering via Zoom. Zoom talks will only be available at home (there will be no meetings in the hall those evenings). We would like members to join us in the hall for all other meetings.
