IMPORTANT NOTICE
Cancellation of the rest of the 2019/2020 programme
Events and advice have now overtaken us and we can do little else but cancel the rest of this year’s programme. We are still hoping to be able to complete and circulate this year’s Journal with which there will be the planned programme of meetings for 2020/2021.
If all goes well we will resume our normal cycle of meetings in September but, as yet, that is not guaranteed. Please check the website and the press for any further details.
— Cyril Peace (Chair)
We will keep our web site up-to-date with further details. Members will also be notified by email.
The Society’s current or upcoming programme of evening talks is set out below. All meetings will be held at the University of Huddersfield on Mondays at 7.30pm in the Brontë Lecture Theatre (room BLG/05).
Admission for non-members is £2.
