At each monthly meeting we have different speaker. Below is a list of speakers to look forward to in the next few months, and some photos of our past speakers too - a very varied programme!

Our meetings are open to members and prospective members. If you are yet to join us, you are very welcome to come and see what we're like and decide whether or not you would like to join.
All our meetings take place in Methodist Church Hall on the last Wednesday of the month starting at 2pm. The Methodist Church Hall is easy to find (satnav CV37 8BG). It has a small car park, but there is free on-street parking nearby in Old Town for two hours. If you are arriving in Stratford by bus, it is an easy walk from the centre of town.
