Meeting and Events
We run a regular programme of meetings and talks on the 3rd Monday of the month in September, October, November, January, February, March, April and May. Visitors are most welcome, and entry is free for the first visit. The events start at 8pm.
Note that the Society’s AGM takes place at 7.30 pm before the September meeting.
Apart from the advertised talk, the evenings include a raffle and usually a briefing or update on current Parkgate matters. This is an excellent opportunity for Society members to hear and comment about local issues, and raise any issues with the Society members.
