With effect from June 2026 our monthly meetings, with expert speakers on a range of subjects, will be at our research centre Treetops, in Fleets Lane Poole. See our events calendar for meeting dates and details.

Several of our local members have mentioned that they would find a trip to Highgate Cemetery an interesting visit. Our coach organiser has been in touch with local travel company Laguna Travel who have arranged a visit on Wednesday 16th September 2026. Go to our coach trips page or direct to the Laguna Travel website.
