We meet monthly (except in August) for lectures on a broad and diverse range of topics. These lectures are given by experienced and highly qualified lecturers who are experts in their chosen field. A full description is in the 'Lectures' section.

To supplement the monthly lectures, Special Interest Days (SIDs) are arranged twice a year in which a topic is studied in greater depth.

We are fortunate to be able to use the facilities of Epsom College for our SIDs so have a nice auditorium with tiered seating.

The day usually consists of 3 lectures – 2 in the morning with a coffee break (with homemade biscuits) in between, followed by a delicious hot lunch in the College’s dining room.

The day concludes with a third lecture.

This is an opportunity to not only get closer to the speaker and ask questions but to chat to other members of the society.

Members can also bring a friend who is not a member to see who we are and what we do!
