Future Events

The country's response to the Coronavirus Emergency means that our meetings, like those of all other organisations of a similar kind, cannot take place until restrictions are lifted. We hope that it may be possible to resume meetings in the autumn. As soon as the likelihood of this becomes clearer we will update this post. At the moment there is no imminent prospect of 'lockdown' being lifted and we must abide strictly by UK and Welsh government guidelines. If a decision is taken to continue the restrictions that apply then we will aim to re-schedule the same speakers to the earliest possible date then notified. At the time of writing our secretary asked our two late spring/early summer speakers if they would be prepared to postpone for a full year and he has received a positive response from one.

We had booked (and hope that we will at some point be able to re-schedule) the following speakers for the third season of the society, starting in May 2020:
