Our regular meetings are held each month and are open to the general public:
- Invited presentations held on the 2nd Monday of each month. These meetings are where invited speakers address particular topics of interest. There is an entry fee for these meetings, payable at the door, of £1 for members, and £3 for non-members.
- Research project meetings are held periodically. These meetings are for members working on research projects, and for those considering starting a project or participating in a current project. The aim of the meetings is to review progress and develop expertise.
