Evening meetings normally start around about an hour before dusk and can carry on into the early hours of the morning. There are no charges for attending.
The grid reference listed is that of the meeting place and not necessarily where we shall be recording so it pays to be prompt or at least let us know if you are going to be late. If a meeting is marked with a ¥ it means that we are likely to be recording some distance from the meeting place.
If anyone is interested in coming along then please feel free to contact me for further details
