We meet every month, usually on the fourth Thursday of the month, (the December meeting will generally be on the third Thursday). Meetings start no earlier than 7:30pm and end before 10:00pm. Here you’ll find brief reports of many of our meetings. In these we try to include any web links or other pointers to further information that were provided by the speaker at the meeting. If you were at one of our meetings and would like to correct or expand the report relating to it then please email our webmaster.
