Meetings
In light of the current situation regarding Coronavirus, for the coming months indoor meetings will be held virtually, using the Zoom platform. Attendance will be limited to members only. Details on how to join meetings will be circulated to members via e-mail. We regret that we are unable to hold field events at the moment.
If you would like to attend our virtual meetings, then you are welcome to apply for membership via the form. Membership is just £8 for individuals for the whole year.
