We are a vibrant, friendly and welcoming society which usually meets monthly on the fourth Tuesday of each month for our lectures in the Bouverie Hall, North Street, Pewsey, SN9 5ES, Wiltshire. (Until the pandemic is over, our lectures will be delivered online.) The doors open at 7pm with the lecture starting at 7:30pm for an hour followed by an opportunity to ask the lecturer questions relating to the topic.
