 Programme of Talks 2025-26     

The 2025-26 season will be a mixture of in-person only lectures at the Borough Theatre, and lectures on Zoom with an audience limited to 60 at the Melvillle Centre. Information about each month’s lecture can be found on the This Month page. Members will be sent the Zoom link to log in a couple of days before each talk at the Melville Centre. A reminder about the talk and its content will be sent out in the monthly email newsletter.

If you have ever wondered what talks have been in the Society’s programme in the past, or are trying to remember the name of a lecturer who spoke a few years ago then all the information is here. It makes fascinating reading.
