Most groups meet at the same time time, and often place, and their regular meetings are shown in the calendar. (Holiday periods may not be correct)
Unfortunately not everything can be shown in the Calendar as some groups do not have a fixed timetable of activities.
Information on all groups, including those without a calendar entry, can be found on the Groups page.
The time period displayed in the calendar can be changed via the button in the top right hand corner, while the arrows in the top left enable you to look at future months and weeks. Clicking on an event in the calendar will bring up a window with more information and a link to that group's web page. All groups can be contacted via their page.
In addition information about future general meetings can be found below.
