Club meetings are on Thursday evenings unless otherwise specified.
The majority of our speakers will be travelling to Charleton Village Hall to give their talks to us face-to-face (F2F), but a few over the mid-winter period will be delivering via Zoom and these will only be available at home (there will be no meetings in the hall those evenings).
