MEETINGS AND VENUE
Meetings 2024
Our regular venue is The Swan Inn on Moreton High Street, near the roundabout at the junction of the High Street and the A44 to Broadway and Evesham. We meet there on the second and fourth Monday each month. It is a friendly pub, with a good lunchtime menu if you choose to stay around after the meetings. It also houses a skittles alley that we have used for enjoyable evenings in the past.
Our programme of meetings for 2024 is given below, and promises our usual mixture of topics; some serious, some humorous, but always informative and entertaining.
