Diary of Events - 2012 We have a full programme of activities planned, both indoor meetings and field trips. We welcome visitors to all of these events. So, if you live in the area, or are just visiting, we hope to see you at some of the following activities. |
Indoor
meetings - 2012
These
are all held on Tuesdays (usually the 1st
Tuesday in the month) at the Friends'
Meeting House, Friargate, York, starting at 7.30 pm. Meetings
normally end at around 9.00 to 9.30 pm. If you need help in finding this,
you'll find it marked on this street map of
York.

Local Field Trips - 2012
Most of these are one-day trips, on Sundays, usually just outside our recording area. Since we use cars (and try to use them efficiently), we usually meet up in the centre of York in Piccadilly, outside United House. If you need help in finding this, you'll find it marked on this street map of York. The times vary, but we always leave promptly! Although we plan a destination in advance, this may be subject to change on the day, depending on "what's about"! For the evening trips we will be assembling at a different point. Watch this page for more details.

Weekend
Trips - 2012

weekend trips are limited in numbers (usually 15 - 20 places). They are
very popular, so early booking is required. Unlike other events, preference
is given to Members of the Club. Once more, we again have two weekend
trips planned:
25 -
27 May: Suffolk Weekend
Leader / Organiser: Peter Watson (Tel: 01904 795063)
