What's on - diary dates and forthcoming events

Monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month (except August and December) from 10.00 am to 12.45 pm at:

The Oakham Suite, 155 Nottingham Road, Mansfield NG18 4AE
(next to The Talbot Inn), which has full disabled access.

The interest/study group leaders are always available from 9.45 to greet their members before the meetings start so this is a good opportunity to ask about their programme of meetings and events and to enquire about vacancies in any group that interests you.

Click here for an overview of interest group meeting dates, or check the full provisional diary/event planner for 2010 that is updated regularly as new events are added.

(The planner is held off-line in PDF format but can be viewed, downloaded and printed from our documents page if you download Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader first - or already have either.)

The links at the bottom of this page give quick access to individual group programmes and leaders' contact details.
