Unless otherwise stated, our meetings take place at 7.30pm in the Apostolic Church, Ancrum Street, Spital Tongues, Newcastle, NE2 4LR - next door to the former Belle Grove pub [view map]. They are normally on the third Monday of every month, but with no meeting in August.

There is no annual membership fee for joining the Society, but a charge of £1.00 is made for admission to any of our meetings. This helps cover the costs of refreshments and room hire.

Inevitably, the speaker programme may be subject to change; where possible, we will publicise any changes via this website. Please feel free to contact us for the latest information on the programme.
