Events/Talks

The list of events below shows the various meetings and activities that we hold, whether they are our fortnightly talks meetings, outings, social events, or particular group meetings. More information about many of these can be found by clicking on one of the links in blue that you will see.

The talks meetings are held at Wallington Village Hall, opposite Sainsbury’s Broadcut, unless otherwise stated. They are usually held on the second Wednesday and fourth Thursday except in August.

Please be considerate to other members and do not attend if you have Covid or similar symptoms. 

Due to fire regulations, numbers in the hall are limited to 120. This is not usually a problem but on particularly busy days we may have to turn away a few people.

Talks start at 2.15pm, on the dates given below or in your programme.  Doors will be open  for registration between 2pm - 2:15.  If you arrive before this time you may have to queue up in the car park, later and you may experience problems getting in.  If the car park is full members can park for up to 3 hours at Sainsburys; although not essential please try to purchase something there to maintain goodwill.

Please email the Programme Editor if further advice is required.
