Every member gets a flyer advertising the upcoming meeting, so you don't forget!

Meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month, except in April, August and December when our newsletter goes out.

Social evenings have no speaker, so will be an opportunity for members to chat. Tables will be placed around the room for groups of around 5 or 6 to sit around and chat to each other.



Next meeting:

 There will be no meeting in August as our newsletter goes out. Next meeting Thursday 18th September 7:30pm

There is a Morrisons petrol station on Bolton Rd which then joins Lea Gate, then Longsight.The Methodist Church Hall is off Longsight,about 150-200 yards from the petrol station, at a T junction which goes onto Longsight Lane. The Methodist Hall is on the left of the T junction in the picture. Opposite is a larger church. The Church Hall is a bungalow behind a bus shelter with signage "Longsight Methodist Church Hall" with a car park behind it. If you come from Morrisons and hit Pennine Vets and start going uphill, you've gone too far.
