Events Calendar

Our Events Calendar provides details of various one-off dates: Outings, Social Events, Dining Out, Theatre and Cinema trips, Speaker and Members meetings, etc. This will often include dates several months in advance.

Please note that events (other than monthly Members and Speaker meetings, 'Coffee and Natter' and 'Saturday Club' drop ins) typically require attendees to reserve places and pay any required deposits or costs in advance. Please see our guidelines for how this can be done; (although specific payment amounts and deadlines are generally part of the event information).
