  • Current Affairs

    CURRENT AFFAIRS

    The Current Affairs Group meets eight times a year in members homes.
     
    Members of our group volunteer to prepare talks for meetings on a subject of their choice. Each meeting consists of coffee, a talk lasting around 3/4 hour, followed by a lively discussion. Members do not have to give a talk if they would prefer just to listen and join in the discussion.

    The subjects of the talks are very wide ranging, and we aim to cover them in rather more depth than is usually provided by the media. Last season’s talks included “Proportional Representation”,  “Women in Politics”, “Modern Slavery”  and “Constitutional Change”.

     Anyone interested in joining the group is welcome to attend one or two of our meetings to try it out.

  • European Affairs

    EUROPEAN AFFAIRS

    This new group discusses issues on the changes ahead in Britain’s relationship with Europe as well as how recent history impacts national decisions today. We follow our members’preferences and study a wide range of subjects including the lifestyles and culture of European states. Each session we choose one subject to which all members contribute. At other meetings talks are led by members. This results in enjoyable and informative discussions. New Members Welcome

  • Stock Market Discussion

    STOCK MARKET DISCUSSION

    If you want to learn about stocks and shares with little financial commitment, then come and join us.  We take a light-hearted approach to the subject.  Members choose one or two stocks, keep them for two months maximum, then change.  A virtual small sum goes into the kitty, then the member with the largest virtual profit in 9 months wins the kitty.
