Indoor Programme 2024/25

Indoor meetings occur every other Tuesday throughout the Winter months.

Non members are welcome (except where stated 'members only') but will be asked for a contribution of £3.00.

St Luke’s Church Hall - Tuesday 16th December- 2.15pm - Christmas Social.

Our next indoor meeting is on Tuesday 16th December. As this is the final meeting of 2025 it is also our Christmas social which over the past few years has involved some form of entertainment in the form of music or quizzes.

This year, we thought we’d try to find both a speaker and a topic that were completely new to the society and we have been very fortunate in this respect to secure the services of Gareth Williams who is the Weald to Waves Project Lead for the Knepp Wildland Foundation.

The Weald to Waves is an exciting plan to create a 100 mile nature corridor across Sussex, from the High Weald to the coast. The plan is for it to follow the course of the Rivers Arun, Adur and Ouse and connect fragmented landscapes to boost biodiversity, capture carbon, enhance food production and enrich the rural economy.

Gareth will be here to give an overview of this project as well as talk about Knepp’s Community Champions initiative, garden and green space work and Citizen Science.

This will be followed by an extended social time when seasonal food and drinks including non alcoholic punch will be served giving you the opportunity to meet up with fellow members and maybe talk to Gareth about his work, the Weald to Waves project and the Knepp Wildland Foundation, in a more informal setting.

We really hope that you will be able to find time to join us and we look forward to seeing you there. You’ll still need to bring your own mug!

Extra Weekend Activities

The Society is planning a series of additional walks and activities this year, to be held at Weekends, in the hope that people unable to attend the usual Tuesday events, perhaps due to a daytime job, may find these events more accessible.

Please note:

The Event on Fri 28th November will no longer happen due to loss of venue, but will be replaced on Saturday 29th November with a Winter Walk. Details to be announced later.

   

Further details of these events may be viewed here
