From the archive

A look back at 2024–25.

Our original About page included a scanned 2024–25 programme. We've made it into a readable, searchable archive of talks, clubs and coffee mornings — rather than leaving the information trapped in a picture.

This programme is historical, not a list of upcoming events.
