Our public
meetings are held at 7:30 p.m. on the last Thursday of every month in the Pier Avenue Baptist Church, Pier Avenue. Talks usually last for about an hour, then we have a short break for refreshments
followed by announcements regarding upcoming events, e.g., local exhibitions, and Society business.
Members are admitted free of charge to all meetings; visitors for £2. Membership runs from January to December and costs £12.50 for the year. Renewals and new membership will be
taken at our first meeting, see below.
