With the current easing of Coronavirus restrictions, we are tentatively re-starting our face-to-face meetings, whilst observing any necessary constraints such as social distancing, mask-wearing and hand cleanliness. Should we need to, we can always return to on-line meetings, conducted using Zoom.
Further field trips for 2022 will be added as they are arranged once it becomes clear that they are safe to hold.
2022 Programme
Dates for lecture meetings will follow the usual schedule: every second Thursday of the month – except for September - with no August meeting.
