We meet monthly from October to March on the second Thursday evening at 6.30 for 7.00 p.m. in the St Giles’ Church Hall. A glass of wine, beer or soft drink is available from 6.30 p.m. We sit at tables to enjoy a cooked main course and dessert, finishing with a cup of tea or coffee, before settling down to listen to the speaker, organised by the Programme Secretary Bryan Bundey.
The cost is currently £9.00 to cover the meal and overheads. Average attendance is about 40. A special 40th Anniversary “Ladies’ Evening” was held at ‘Headingley Golf Club’ in September 2011. The “Ladies’ Outing” in April 2011 was to St. George’s Crypt in Leeds.
Whereas most members live in Bramhope and are associated with St Giles’, church membership is not a requirement. We have members who come regularly from Adel, Cookridge and further afield.
If you would like to attend a future Meeting, please contact our Treasurer Brian Ridsdale (Tel. 0113 267 3293) by the Sunday preceding the Thursday of a Meeting, so that a place can be reserved. You are assured of a very warm welcome.
