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.
