Our main monthly meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, commencing at 2.30p.m.
Venue
We meet at the Aston Clinton Baptist Church, 52 Green End Street, Aston Clinton, HP22 5EX. General announcements and group news are followed by a talk from a guest speaker on a topic of general interest, after which tea/coffee are served (please bring a personal cup/mug). The meeting finishes by 4.30p.m.
Parking
Parking outside the Church is limited but parking on local roads is not restricted. Please park with due consideration for local residents. If you can walk, or cycle to the venue that would ease the parking problems.
Recent talks and Presentations
At our April meeting we had a presentation on Cyber Security from Shayne Green. Shayne covered a range of security issues and advice on how members can identify scams and protect themselves.
