Our meetings
We have a varied programme of talks and presentations and in the past we've learned how to belly dance, do the Charleston, practise Tai Chi; we've had wine tastings, cheese tastings; we've discovered unsung heroes and local people who do amazing things.
Click on the posts below to discover more about our meetings, which are held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month (except August) at 8:00 pm at Stephens House, 17 East End Road, Finchley N3 3QE
