FEBRUARY MEETING

        Wednesday 17th February 2010 – Greg Smye-Rumsby talks about “Bits and Bobs”.  He has visited us on a number of occasions and members will remember his inimitable style; not only hilarious but also very informative.

Meetings begin at 1930 although members are invited to arrive anytime after 1900 as this is a good time to exchange ideas and discuss problems and relax before the talk.
