The Society now meets at Whitefriars Junior School, Boughton Road, Rushden, NN10 9HX, at 7.30pm, normally on the third Friday of each month, when we are entertained by speakers on a wide variety of topics. Often talks are illustrated with slides and relevant objects. There is limited free parking on-site for less able members but ample free parking on street or near to the Grangeway shops .
For more information on the Programme, or the Society in general, you can call Geoff Wiggins on 01933 651084
