Our aim is to share knowledge, learn something new, make new friends, and enjoy ourselves. We normally meet monthly to travel to places of scientific, engineering or technological interest, or to have talks in the Methodist Church. The photos show some of our recent visits. It’s not necessary to have any background knowledge – we have quite a mix of members!

The organisation is split between several of us - there are over 150 members, a sure sign of its success and popularity, and new members are welcome. The leadership team welcome additional suggestions, offers of help, and offers of talks! (Do you have knowledge that could be shared with others?). We are in particular need of additional people to help organise events. Use the  group leader link above to message Graham if you can help.
