Monthly General Meeting

Activities include a monthly general meeting, along with participation in at least one of the special interest groups.

  • When: Third Wednesday of each month
  • Where: Cooperating Church Hall, 124 Comries Road, Chartwell.

  • Time: Meeting starts at 10.00am. Coffee after lecture.

Guest Speakers are invited for their expertise in a wide range of academic, medical, cultural, commercial or social subjects. Free parking.

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 24 April (not the 17th) when the AGM will be held also.

Our speaker is Ken Millwood

Ken is the Education Team Leader at Hamilton Zoo. He has been in this role for 18 years, making him the longest serving zoo staff member on site. During this time he has seen many changes. He still enjoys working with the wide range of students / adults visiting Hamilton Zoo. Ken’s talk will be on the Zoo over the years, and what’s currently happening on the animal side – new arrival, babies, etc. and what keepers do.

Interest Groups

Apart from the monthly general meeting, a number of interest groups meet regularly for discussion and learning on a chosen topic. Convenors organise meetings which may be in a participant’s home or in a public room. They may be held weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and are usually held during the day.

Members often attend more than one interest group, and are encouraged to suggest or start a new group, after discussion with the committee.
