Upcoming Events

Monday 2nd November – Christmas: A Natural History

Join Mark Wright – ex-chief scientist for WWF – for a slightly sideways take on the animals, plants and stories of Christmas. Enjoy some of the usual suspects – but be ready for some slightly tenuous links too!

Mark is back by popular demand, having given us talks about natural history and its links to Halloween and the Joy of Sex.

In the Summer we usually have walks rather than talks.

Our talks are usually on the first Monday of each month from September to April at St Marks Church Hall for a 19.30 start.

Wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee are available to buy from 19:00pm

The atmosphere at our talks is very informal and everyone is welcome to come – both adults and children. Our speakers are always happy to answer any questions the audience has – and there are usually very interesting discussions!
