Programme
Our season runs from September to May. During the summer break we take part in walks around the area, with a view to having a good time and maybe even taking some pictures. Whether or not we take any pictures, the evening invariably ends in a local hostelry. Please do contact us if you would like details of the walks. Find below details of all meetings and events for the season. A PDF version of our complete programme is available here. You will need Acrobat Reader in order to view the document.

If changes to the programme become necessary, they will be notified below but not changed in the PDF version.
Please note the start time of 7.15 for 7.30pm.
