Events Calendar
The main events calendar has hundreds of activities and meetings coming up over the next few months. Please use this calendar both to find things to get involved in, but also to plan your activities - try to work with others planning similar things at the time you were thinking of and avoid clashes, where possible.Regular events, such as monthly group meetings and fortnightly working weekends, are listed separately to the main calendar. Not that they are less important but to save repetitive typing!
Please let us know of your activities so we can post them here so others can read them and get involved them.
