Monthly meetings

Monthly meetings are held in and around Cambridge, often in members' homes, usually in the evening. Typically there's an invited speaker and always an opportunity for conversation and discussion.

Visitors are welcome at meetings. Please enquire about time and location from the appropriate contact.
