Winter Meetings 2011/12

Ipswich Branch Winter meetings are all held in the Community Centre, School Street, Needham Market, IP6 8BB. Click here for a map link.

Our meetings are normally held on the second Friday of the month but this may sometimes have to change if the room we use has been pre-booked by another organisation.

All meetings start at 7-30pm unless otherwise stated and non-members are more than welcome.

There is no charge for attending the meetings but we hold a raffle to offset the room hire costs

Next Winter's programme is nearly completed. Check back on this page for updates.

2012 is the 100th anniversary of the Aylsham Navigation's closure following the catastrophic flooding on August 26th 1912 which washed out all of the locks and most of the bridges. In commemoration a trust has been formed called the Bure Navigation Conservation Trust.
