Winter Illustrated Talks
During the winter months about six talks are given by a variety of speakers on topics of interest to members. Our talks are free and open to all and take place at the Museum Street Methodist Church which is equipped with comfortable seating and modern Audio/Visual facilities. Free tea/coffee and biscuits are served after the talks with a chance for members and guests to socialise.
