Events — our annual programme runs two seasons, Autumn (September–December) and Spring (January–May), each with three to four talks and three to four films. Talks are free to members; non-members are welcome for an admission fee.

Membership — we’re a small charity run by volunteers and can’t survive without an active membership. If you’d like to join or get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
