Important - Special Arrangements for 2020/2021


In the light of the problems with the Corona virus, we provided this season’s lecture series via the Zoom web platform. There was no fee this season.


The Zoom meetings opened at 7:45 to give people new to the platform a chance to make sure they can join in successfully.


The Zoom presentations were on the second Wednesday

of the month.
