The After Tea sessions

Not only do we have our primary speaker every month, but we also have lined up some shorter presentations that will take place after the tea break. They are now listed in the Events table below.

Venue
We meet at 2pm on the fourth Thursday of each month at the Emsworth Baptist Church by the roundabout.
Thank you to all those groups who volunteered to join the Tea Rota.
