We are pleased to announce that our 2023 Christmas lecture will be taking place on Friday 15th December, at Monton Methodist Church.
We will be having a small social gathering before hand with the doors opening at 7:00pm to say hello and reminisce of the year gone by. Feel free to bring sausage rolls and/or mince pies! Tea and Coffee will be provided.
