Our on-going Programme


Our annual barbecue is a highlight of the year, organised on an informal
"cook-it-yourself" basis, when you'll have an opportunity to meet and chat with
many other members from all walks of life having similar interests.

All meetings (except walks) are at the Triangle Community Centre, right in the middle of Liss - near the main public car park and only a couple of minutes walk from the main line station. They are normally held on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.30 p.m., with three exceptions: in August the barbecue is held on a member's land, in June/July/August we only have outside visits, and the December meeting is usually a week later to provide a more seasonal atmosphere!
