More about the Monthly General Meeting
Once a month we gather at St Mary’s Church, Princes Risborough for a meeting open to all members. After a brief welcome and introduction from the Chair we usually have an invited guest speaker to present a topic of general interest, followed by a few questions from the floor.
It’s also a social occasion, with tea and biscuits provided, and group leaders and committee members have an opportunity to make announcements about forthcoming meetings and events.
