Programme 2025

Meetings

Meetings are normally held on the afternoons of the second and fourth Mondays of the month, at the Royal British Legion Club, Staunton Lane, Whitchurch, Bristol, BS14 OQF. Proceedings start at 1230.  

Whitchurch is about 4 miles south of the centre of Bristol on the A37 towards Midsomer Norton.  Turn left at the traffic lights at the 'Toby Carvery' into Staunton Lane: the Royal British Legion Club is a short distance up the hill on the left hand side.  There is ample parking but if able bodied please park away from the entrance.

Occasionally it is necessary to make a change to the Programme at short notice, and if travelling far we suggest you check  beforehand to confirm the speaker and subject of meetings - see the 'Contact Us' page of this website.
