Summer Events are open to members only. Winter Lectures are open to everyone – members and non-members.  Summaries of lectures and reports on visits are usually provided in the Newsletter; the archive of which you can access here.

Currently our winter meetings are free and held over Zoom in order to widen our audience and allow out-of-county members to attend. If the Group returns to in-person meetings there may be a small charge.

Membership – If you would be interested becoming a member, please go to membership page.
