Events

Our face-to-face events are the PAN Coffee Moot (fourth Saturday of the month), talks and workshops at the Silver Road Community Centre (second Sunday of the month), special evenst, especially Boudica's Brocante in October, and, in the summer part of the year, walks. We are also restarting our on-line talks! Details below. Indeed, the silver lining to lockdown was the people who have joined us on-line that couldn't do so in person. We have been joined by people from distant parts of England, Wales, Canada, France and the USA!
