Our monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at Our Lady of Lincoln Church Hall ( LN2 2HE), which is just off Nettleham Road. It is on a cycle and bus routes, with plenty of off-road parking.
Doors open from 1:30pm to give members the chance to socialise, check the notice board for updates on events, and to visit the book swop table.
Please be seated by 1.45 to allow time for notices and to ensure a prompt start for the speaker at 2pm. The talks usually last around 45 mins, with the opportunity for questions after. Coffee, tea and biscuits are served afterwards.
There is a nominal charge of £2 per head for members and guests which goes towards the cost of the speaker and room hire.
