GENERAL SPEAKER MEETINGS
Our General Meetings are open to all Members and are held on the second Friday of each month (except August). They're normally held at St. Anne's United Reform Church Hall, St George's Road, St Anne's, Lancashire, FY8 2AE, at which there will almost always be a topical and entertaining speaker.
Members gather from 10am for coffee and chat with other colleagues before sitting back and enjoying a talk that begins at 10.30am and, usually, ends at about 12 noon.
Members should always be prepared to show their current membership cards at each meeting.
There is a small car park associated with the Hall with appropriately designated spaces.
