The monthly main Meeting takes place at the Great Baddow Millennium Community Centre. Please arrive from 2.00 p.m. for a 2.15 p.m. start. Meetings are normally on the 3rd Wednesday of the month but please check below for details. The venues and times for other meetings, unless specified below, are either shown in the Year Book or can be found by contacting the Co-ordinator.
If your group has an event that you think should be shown here, or you see an error or omission in the Events list, then please draw it to the attention of your Co-ordinator or contact the Webmaster.
