Coronavirus Update
The Coronavirus situation means that we have to put the safety of our members and speakers first and to this end, in line with Government advice, we have cancelled our programme of 'live'meetings until we receive further advice that it is safe to hold such events again.
In the meantime a programme of 'Zoomed' talks is in progress.
