General Meetings

We hold a monthly General Meeting, starting at 2:15pm, usually on the third Thursday of the month at St Barbara's Church Hall. Please arrive by 2:00pm to enable time for signing in. There is a small car park at the rear of the hall. You are invited to attend three of these meetings as a guest before deciding whether you wish to join.
