Monthly Meetings

Each month (except August) we have a Monthly Meeting at which a guest speaker gives an illustrated presentation, which is open to members and non-members.
Topics range far and wide from, for example, climate change to art history, hidden London to how to avoid being scammed – and everything in between.

Join us on the first Thursday of the month at Ewen Hall, Wood Street, Barnet EN5 4BW for coffee/tea from 9.30am. The presentations start at 10.30am. It’s also an opportunity to meet other members and sign up for our groups and outings.

Forthcoming talks:
