Meetings and Events

 

We hold regular indoor meetings in a building which is near to Scarborough Hospital (see the 'Indoor Meetings' section below for details).  They start at 7:30pm with any news and reports from members about anything interesting they've seen or heard about since the last meeting.  Next, there's a 'half-time' interval for a look at any exhibits brought in by members and a bit of general chit-chat amongst friends.  Finally, the guest speaker will deliver their talk (usually with a slide-show) and answer a few questions afterwards.  It's usually all over by 9:30pm.

 

If you're a member of the Society all the meetings are free, but guests are welcome to come and see what it's all about for the price of £5 per meeting.
