Since its formation on October 27th 1970 over 750 talks have been given to retired and semi-retired men meeting on Tuesday mornings from October until April in the Assembly Rooms at Knaresborough House. There is no annual subscription but a weekly levy, at present 80p, to cover coffee, hire of room and speaker's expenses. A printed program is issued to all members in late September and subsequent joiners will receive one at the door. Many talks are accompanied by slides on diverse subjects.
Time is allotted at the beginning of each session for members to chat to one another.
