Our Activities:

We have a varied programme including talks by members and visiting speakers and problem-solving sessions; all these take place at the Montfort Community Hall, Benedict Close. In addition we organise coach trips to archives including the National Archives at Kew. From time to time there are also introductory sessions for small groups of beginners in a member’s home, as the need arises. We make a small charge at each meeting to cover the cost of the hall, tea/coffee and biscuits and any speaker's fee.
